The museum tells
of Narvik's farming, fishing, railway-building and ore trans-shipment heritage. There's a
rolling film about the Ofotbanen Railway and children will enjoy pressing the button that
activates the model train. Linger too over the display case of Sami costumes and artefacts
and the collection of historic photos, contrasted with modern shots taken from the same
angles. To reach the museum, take the minor road beside the restored building that served
as Narvik's post office from 1888 to 1898.
