lofoten war museum印象

This little private museum is just a few minutes walk from the Hurtigruten Terminal in Svolvaer and is an absolute Aladdin’s cave, containing a fantastic collection of equipment, displays and information relating to the events that affected the Lofoten Islands during World War II. It’s worth calling in to, even if just for a short visit. Since it’s run by the owner and curator, with occasional additional help, opening times can be a bit erratic: when I spoke to the owner he said he tries to make sure that it’s open when the Hurtigruten ships are in port. It may be worth checking with the purser on the Hurtigruten.There’s plenty of stuff here to amuse and enthuse children of all ages. There are rooms containing weapons and equipment from the Norwegian, British and German armies, and their navies and air forces. There is also an amazing collection of uniforms, personal kit and so on, with some very evocative pieces. Some are quite amazing, including a painting attributed to Adolf Hitler himself. But the “Gestapo” displays and the stories told are rather chilling.All of the equipment was collected by the owner, who also created the displays and if the museum isn’t too busy, he’s very happy to spend time chatting with visitors.I was only able to spend a short looking round this museum on the north-bound leg of our cruise, but I found it so interesting that on the south-bound leg, I decided to miss dinner on board so that I could have a much better look round and have a longer talk with the curator.This is an excellent museum with fascinating stories and displays and is well worth a visit.

This private museum of WWII Nazi memorabilia is chilling. The owner has obviously spent considerable time gathering all his displays related to the occupation of Norway by the German elite special forces along with the regular military from 1941 to 1945. One bit of information was regarding the 99th Battalion from Minnesota. About 100 Norwegian speaking military from MN were deployed to Norway to help with the Resistance Movement. A very interesting and new piece of news. If you are on the Hurtigruten and have 1 1/2 hours or more --- they can best be spent at this museum. It is only a couple blocks from the port.

Complete scene with arthefacts, way of life... well an overall experience of what was the german arrival to this region of europe.

Phenomenal collection of WWII memorabilia from several nations, including paintings by Hitler and Eva Braun's small metal purse. The English translations could be improved, but but the stories are fascinating. Well worth a visit.

Loads of paraphernalia for WWII enthusiasts. A great collection by an ardent collector. Easy to locate and doesn't need a lot of time to go through.

80 Kroner per ticket, cash only. Located near pier in main square. A diverse static display of WWII memorabilia, focusing on Norway and the Lofoten Islands. Displays are labelled in Norwegian, French, German and English. Huge display crammed into 4 rooms, very interesting but this is the personal hobby of the owner. It needs proper cataloging and curating to do justice to the amazing array of uniforms, weapons, and personal histories.

We had a great time here. I thought there was a lot of interesting facts and we enjoyed the sites. It took about 2 hours of time depending upon how much in detail you wanted to go into.

The museum was jam-packed full of World War II memorabilia. It is said to be Norway's most extensive collection of uniforms & smaller objects from the war years, 1940-45. It even had a painting that had been done by Hitler. Well worth seeing.

This museum is quite small, just three rooms or so, but has an interesting collection of items related to WWII and Norway during that time. There are comments on small pieces of paper, anecdotes from the time, lots of different items and photos.You can spend just a little time there, but if you want to explore more thoroughly and read the comments, it will take you over an hour despite the museum being small. It was a very interesting experience.

This museum has an amazingly comprehensive collection of WW2 war memorabilia. It's arranged in a very personal way and we enjoyed the quirky comments by the owner on many of the items. It's a place where you wander in and out of the small rooms finding something that catches your eye and interest. It is obviously a life's work and passion of the owner.
