The Polar Museum in Tromsø showcases the history of polar expeditions, everyday life, and adventures in the Arctic from the 17th century to the present. The museum is located in a historic Customs warehouse and features exhibitions on sealing, overwintering, polar expeditions, and the cultural history of Svalbard. Visitors can also explore the museum's well-preserved sealing vessel, the MS Polstjerna, and learn about the research on life in the Arctic during the polar night.

Activities: We visited the Polarmuseet (Polar Museum) in Tromsø. "This small museum... is a real mine of information on the hunting of Arctic animals and polar expeditions."
Highlights: The visit was "passionate!" We found a very complete and well-written booklet in French at the reception. It is a must-see ✨
