Our gallery in Honningsvåg is located just a few minutes' walk from the harbour and from Scandic Honningsvåg. Its convenient location makes it ideal for visitors with a busy sightseeing schedule. Moreover, it is open all year round.

Great place to buy original and beautiful souvenirs from Norway (and easy to pack.) They sell paper art, miniature cloth reindeer and other artistic creations. It was a Sunday. As we glanced through the window, the shop manager opened early for us. Although skeptical about going here (because the cruise ship excursion guides recommended it), we were pleasantly surprised.

The North Cape Museum is a local heritage museum which presents the local history from the Stone Age to modern times. The permanent exhibition goes over two floors and focuses on the development of the local society in an international context. The various themes in our permanent exhibition touches upon several topics, such as the destruction of Honningsvåg and Finnmark during WW II and the reconstruction of the town during the late 40's and the early 50's.

This small museum (2 floors) is devoted to the history of the town of Honningsvåg (and North Cape area) where it is located, including the fishing industry and the World War II German occupation. Almost all of the photos and exhibits have an English description - be sure to open the drawers under some of the exhibits to read the pull-out descriptions. The ground floor is devoted to the early history of the town and area, with a heart-rending section devoted to the German occupation during WWII which ended with a burned earth policy as they withdrew in the face of Russian advance. Like other towns in the area all the occupants were forcibly evacuated and the town completely destroyed. The rebuilding in 1947 is also documented. Upstairs most of the display is devoted to the fishing industry with a small section also on the recent oil and gas extraction in the Barents Sea area. Here you will also find a room where you can view several short, subtitled films about the area. One particularly poignant one is the first hand account of the destruction of the town by the Germans by a survivor who was a boy at the time. He and some of his family fled into the hills rather than evacuate, and you can hear his story. At 50kr the museum is reasonably priced and most definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Europe’s moist northerly town.

ARTICO ICE BAR es una experiencia unica. No somos una atraccion turistica ni un lugar fresquito para tomar algo o uno de esos locales hechos con hielo de congelador en lugares impensables de Europa.MOSTRAMOS EL HIELO DEL ARTICO EN EL ARTICO. En primavera -verano, cuando no hay nieve ni hielo en el paisaje, le mostramos lo que la naturaleza ha hecho durante los frios meses de invierno. Trozos de los lagos helados de Laponia , nieve de sus montanas , la sensacion del frio inviernal y la noche polar en pleno estio. El conocimiento de la naturaleza a traves del hielo en estado puro. Podra observar el hielo natural, tocarlo y sentirlo plenamente. Porque tocar es sentir.ARTICO ICE BAR BAR is a unique experience. We are neither a tourist attraction nor a nippy place to have a break or one of those business made with freezer ice in unthinkable places in Europe.WE SHOW ARCTIC ICE IN THE ARCTIC. In spring-summer, when there is neither snow nor ice in the landscape, we show you what nature has made during the cold months of winter. Pieces of the frozen lakes of Sapmi, snow from its mountains, the feeling of winter cold and the polar night in summer. You will see the knowledge of nature through ice in pure state. You will be able to fully watch natural ice, touch it and feel it. Because touching is feeling.
