Very impressive, and there are so many things to do outside as well, the nature surrounding the museum is magnificent. There are tables to sit, small barbecue grills, lakes, birds and old houses with grass roofs. Such a lovely place to discover new things and to reconnect with the nature.

Beautiful museum with a very well worked out chronological time line of the History of the Jekte, with 1 orginal Jekte on full display. Close to shopping Center City Nord and the Aviation museum. It is easy to get to with busline 2 from Bodø

Amazing and interesting exhibition about the life and times of early Norwegian life. The main item in the Museum is a fishing boat which takes center stage. Well worth a visit via the local bus network, short walk from bus stop

Interesting and nicely maintained museum about the fishing history of the coast of Norway and the special wooden ships used in the past. The museum is located in picturesque area and inspires to discover the area even more. Friendly, very welcoming staff. Interesting stories. Small souvenir shop and a restaurant.

A must see in Bodo - we enjoyed walking around the building and taking in the view of mountains across the water. My daughter especially enjoyed the ducks 🙈

Fascinating museum about the lives of country Norwegians over the centuries. Very illuminating. Good English translations to most info. Boat displayed in a very imposing way

Very necessary museum. Impressive jekt on display. Please be aware that they offer guided visits (also in English) included in the price of the ticket. Such a pity they don't advertise that in their website (Bodø is not an easy place for the tourist/visitor). My guide was Dafne, who speaks wonderful English and is very knowledgeable. The museum has the most amazing views, particularly in the café (such a pity the coffee they have is filtered). Can only recommend. Very nice design and great ubication.

Wonderful museum in a beautiful location giving great depth into the history, construction and social importance of Jekts. Fun interactive elements keep kids entertained and guided tours are free and led by extremely knowledgeable staff. Huge additional thanks to Eirik and Adrian who made us some incredible traditional Norwegian dishes in the restaurant - a real highlight in what was a fantastic visit. Would highly recommend.
