The exhibition presents fragments of Svalbard's 400-year history and describes factors that help support life and the activities taking place here, which together reveal the close relationship between sea and land, nature and cultural history.

Svalbard museum is a small but very informative place. You can learn a lot about the geology of the island, the animal types and histocal facts of Svalbard archipelago. It has a nice and welcoming environment and if you want to take it easy for a couple of hours you can easily do it there

A really interesting museum that you should visit at least one time while you are in Longyearbyen! It's the perfect place to visit when you are there, just to understand much better where on earth you have arrived to!! The museum displays the main expeditions taken to the North Pole departing from Svalbard and shows the incredible job of collecting high quality-material made by the people who founded this private Museum.
