We only had a short stop in Bodø and this little museum was well worth the visit. The lady was very welcoming and informative. Its a small but interesting museum about the history and life of the people of Bodø. They currently have a temporary exhibit on mittens which was lovely to see and learn the history behind the patterns and designs of the mittens. It was a dream visit and I would recommend to anyone who is visiting Bodø!

Totally stunning views from the top of the mountain. The point of 366 meters above sea level is called Keiservarden and is a rather easy and nice hike close to Bodo. Travel to Turisthytten and walk from there. The path is 2.3 km of which the fist km is a really easy path, wide and smooth. The last 1.3 km is still an easy walk but know it goes up hill with uneven stone stairs mixed with mountain paths and stony parts. Lots of people run up to the top and most people wear running shoes but I recommend a light walking shoe for the hike and some warm clothes for the top once you reach it. You'll want to stay and it can be quite windy up here. The view will show you Saltstraumen, Kjerringoy, Bodo city and if you go in the summer on a sunny day - an amazing midnight sun.

Interesting museum but could do with a few more English signs. The slideshow presentation at xx00 and xx30mins is very good and explains what you will see in the museum. Make it your first stop

Interesting story of the Lofoten region. Great museum.

Very nice museum. Small, coay but very interesting. Good film in 2nd floor!

The exhibit upstairs about Bodø's history was good, though I have heard they have tires with guides in period dress. That would have made the visit better. The art exhibit downstairs was minimal and had no explanation.

Really nice exhibition with EN translation for most exhibits. Loads of videos explaining the history of Bodø. I recommend a visit.

Very interesting and precise museum telling Bodø’s long story from its founding, to present day. Short and precise, so in some areas i would have loved a bit more information, and the qr guide codes didnt work when i visited which meant i probably missed some information. Tip top service from the staff!

Interesting information about the history of Bodø

(Translated by Google) It is a small museum but it gathers very well the history of this town. You need to watch your video. To highlight the Viking treasure they show. (Original) Es un pequeño museo pero recoge muy bien a historia de este pueblo. Es necesario ver su vídeo. A destacar el tesoro vikingo que muestran.

(Translated by Google) Nice little city museum. Just bye big. Important to bring along the 25-minute film about Bodø, which is left for half an hour. Teacher film with Halvdan Sivertsen as a star. (Original) Fint, lite bymuseum. Akkurat passeleg stort. Viktig å få med seg den 25-minuttsfilmen om Bodø som vert vist kvar halvtime. Lærerik film med Halvdan Sivertsen som forteljar.

(Translated by Google) A very nice vantage point in Bodø. The guard is easily accessible to everyone. Highway all the way up. Nice paths with partial stairs in the forest as well. You see the whole of Bodø, landego and out towards Lofoten. No WC or cafe. Memorial. (Original) Et meget fint utkikkspunkt i Bodø. Varden er lett tilgjengelig for alle. Bilvei helt opp. Fine stier med delvis trapp i skogen også. Du ser hele Bodø, landego og ut mot Lofoten. Ingen WC eller cafe. Minnesmerke.

(Translated by Google) A small cozy museum that reflects the history of Bodo. I would recommend. (Original) Małe przytulne muzeum, w którym odbija się historia Bodo. Polecam.

Great little museum on the history of Bodoe... Stop by!

(Translated by Google) This trip starts in the parking lot at the top of Fjellveien, below the Tourist Lodge. From here you follow the sherpastia up to the empire. This trip is 1.10 kilometers and takes about half an hour with normal speed. Once you have left the parking lot, turn right at the first cross and continue the path inside the water at the crossing. Furthermore, there are stone steps in the steepest climbs (Original) Denne turen starter på parkeringsplassen øverst i Fjellveien, nedenfor Turisthytta. Herfra følger man sherpastien opp til Keiservarden. Denne turen er 1.10 kilometer og tar rundt en halvtime med normalt turtempo. Når du har begynt å gå fra parkeringsplassen svinger du av til høyre i første kryss, og fortsetter stien på innsiden av vannet ved krysset. Videre er det steintrapper opp i de bratteste stigningene

Small museum about the history of Bodø. Only worth visit if you are living in Bodø. Don't plan to visit if you are staying for just a few days.

A quaint, inexpensive museum detailing the history of the region and town. To see/read everything takes approximately 90 minutes. Overall enjoyable, if slightly dated.

A very small, cozy museum. The young lady at the reception was 5/5, so friendly and helpful! The exhibition 'Heritage' was really impressive. The Dry Aquarium was a disappointment, only one thing to see. Good way to kill time on a rainy day.

Lovely place. Lovely stairs and in general lovely nature trail. It's not last time I go up there. I was there at sunset. It was magical

As visitors from a cruise ship it is helpful to see an overview of the region. Very good section about the war in Norway

(Translated by Google) a bit bare and poor in materials to view (Original) luogo un po' spoglio e povero di materiali da visionare

(Translated by Google) Interesting to learn how they lived at different times in northern Norway for us who came from eastern Norway. (Original) Interessant å lære hvordan de levde på ulik tid i det nordlige Norge for oss som kom fra Østlandet.

Nice view of bodø and easy to get from the city!!

(Translated by Google) If you are a Bodø patriot and at the same time very interested in World War II, this museum will probably suit you better. For the rest of us, it got a little tame. I had hoped that the "aquarium" in the basement would save the visit, but then no. (Original) Er du en bodøpatriot og samtidig veldig opptatt av andre verdenskrig så passer nok dette museet bedre for deg. For oss andre så ble det litt tamt. Jeg hadde håpet at «akvariet» i kjelleren skulle redde besøket, men den gang ei.

(Translated by Google) Informative visit (Original) Lærerikt besøk

Amazing place with breathtaking views, I can highly recommend to walk up the mountain and watch as the sun goes down and slightly touches the sea surface and goes up again.. this magical moment can be watched in June!

(Translated by Google) Nice hike in Bodø. Fits well as a family holiday. Easy walk from Maskinisten on gravel road to the top. Amazing view! Highly recommended! (Original) Fin fottur i Bodø. Passer godt som sønsagstur med familien. Enkel tur fra Maskinisten på grusvei helt til topps. Fantastisk utsikt! Kan virkelig anbefales!

(Translated by Google) Bodø's tour destination no. 1. Available to most people and an invaluable view! Well worth the trip (Original) Bodøs turdestinasjon no. 1. Tilgjengelig for de fleste og en ubetalelig utsikt! Vel verdt turen

(Translated by Google) So nice day trip to take if you are going to spend the night in Bodø! We walked from Clarion Hotel in downtown which was approx. 8 km en road. On the way up we walked the dirt road and down we went on stones from the Sherpa and hiking trails in the forest. Very nice! ⛰☀️ (Original) Så fin dagstur å ta om du skal overnatte i Bodø! Vi gikk fra Clarion Hotell i sentrum som var ca. 8 km en vei. På veien opp gikk vi grusveien og ned gikk vi på steiner fra Sherpaene og turstier i skogen. Veldig fint! ⛰☀️

(Translated by Google) Made at night, the ideal spot to watch the northern lights without being too disturbed by the night pollution, allow 1 hour walk to reach the summit! (Original) Fait de nuit, le spot idéal pour regarder des aurores boréales sans être trop dérangé par la pollution nocturne, prévoir 1 heure de marche pour arriver au sommet!

(Translated by Google) Fantastic experience! (Original) Fantastisk opplevelse!

(Translated by Google) I have experienced a Venus passage and a shooting star from the top, it was absolutely amazing (Original) Jeg har opplevd en Venuspassasje og en stjerneskuddsverm fra toppen, det var helt fantastisk

(Translated by Google) Some of the most amazing city-center facilities for hikers. (Original) Noe av det mest fantastiske bynære tilrettelegginga for turgåere.

The view is super nice although going up is a challenge but as you go up, you also see the view of whole Bodø, as well as the different nature views surrounding it.

A great hike. Nice views.

(Translated by Google) Nice and welcoming staff, the place tells a lot about Bodø before the war (Original) Hyggelig og imøtekommende ansatt, plassen forteller mye om Bodø før å etter krigen

A+++ Must see the short 25+ movie about the history the city

Quit boring and poor exhibition. Too overpriced (70 nok) tickets.

Surprising exhibitions

Charming museum in a quiet little town

(Translated by Google) Interesting story about the creation of Bodø Shopping City approx. 1800 and up to today. (Original) Interessant historie om tilblivelsen av Bodø Kjøpstad ca. 1800 og frem til i dag.

(Translated by Google) Fun and interesting, even though it was a lot of Halvdan! (Original) Morsomt og interessant, selv om det ble vel mye Halvdan!

(Translated by Google) Nice exhibition about Bodø history in the 2nd floor. Bunad exhibition in the 1st floor. (Original) Fin utstilling om Bodø historie i 2 etg. Bunad utstilling i 1. etg.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic lecture 😄 (Original) Fantastisk foredrag 😄

(Translated by Google) Good exhibition and movie about Bodø city (Original) God utstilling og film om Bodø by

(Translated by Google) A small museum about the city. (Original) Um pequeno museu sobre a cidade.

(Translated by Google) Informative, concentrated, historical, beautiful paintings (Original) Informatīva,koncentrēta,vēsturiska,skaistas gleznas

(Translated by Google) A little outdated and old-fashioned exhibition about World War II. The exhibition in the basement, stuffed fish, is a museum item in itself. (Original) Litt utdatert og gammelmodig utstilling om andre verdenskrig. Utstillingen i kjelleren, utstoppede fisker, er jo en museumsgjenstand i seg selv.

Liked it, there are interesting things, but small exsebition

(Translated by Google) It was a boring and old-fashioned museum (Original) Det var et kjedelig og gammeldags museum

(Translated by Google) Simple and informative (Original) Sencillo y divulgativo

(Translated by Google) Great sales show with the women from the sea. (Original) Flott salgsutstilling med kvinnene fra havet.

(Translated by Google) Small but very pleasant to walk around (Original) Petit però molt agradable de passejar

(Translated by Google) Worth getting along. Nice exhibition and film about the city's history. (Original) Verdt å få med seg. Fin utstilling og film om byens historie.

(Translated by Google) We receive an excellent welcome at the Bodø and Nordland History Museum! By a very available, very attentive, very helpful person. It is a visit not to be missed. The museum has 3 parts: a dry aquarium, ie an exhibition behind a large display case of stuffed fish specimens (or molded I don't know), as if they were swimming in the display case. It is equipped with an interactive device: the eyes of the fish light up when the button corresponding to their name (Norwegian) is pressed. The correspondences with the other denominations are on a nearby poster. It's a little complicated to find them though. On the ground floor, a large room is devoted to temporary exhibitions, in 2019 by contemporary artist Gerhard Mhule, on loan from the Bergen Art Museum if I understood correctly. Beautiful exhibition with a well-designed auto weaving workshop. Upstairs, a film tells the story of the city (in Norwegian with English subtitles). It is very well done, the tone used is very correct, at the same time entertaining, instructive, moving, with a touch of humor. The images testify to a real and serious work of research and collection of archives. The exhibition which bears witness to this history is well documented, includes models, objects and a nice immersive scenography. It lacks a course to follow and suddenly seems a little disjointed. Archeology is represented in a room, which exhibits a silver treasure dating from the early Middle Ages, unearthed in the area, accompanied by the work of a contemporary embroidery artist. A model of Borg's longhouse completes the contextualization. A 16th century Sami Shaman drum. is also presented. As everywhere in Norway, the only problem is that of the opening hours: you have to enter the narrow window of 10 am to 4 pm. Too bad especially in the summer when the day drags on ... (Original) On reçoit un excellent accueil au musée d'histoire de Bodø et du Nordland ! Par une personne très disponible, très à l'écoute, très serviable. C'est une visite à ne pas manquer. Le musée comprend 3 parties : un aquarium sec, c'est à dire une exposition derrière une grande vitrine de spécimens de poissons naturalisés ( ou moulés je ne sais pas), comme s'ils nageaient dans la vitrine. Il est équipé d'un dispositif interactif : les yeux des poissons s'éclairent quand on appuie sur le bouton correspondant à leur nom (norvégien). Les correspondances avec les aitres dénominations se trouvent sur un poster tout proche. C'est un peu compliqué de les trouver néanmoins. Au rez-de-chaussée une vaste salle est consacrée à des expositions temporaires, en 2019 de l'artiste contemporain Gerhard Mhule, prêtées par le Musée d'art de Bergen si j'ai bien compris. Belle expo avec un auto atelier de tissage bien imaginé. À l'étage, un film relate l'histoire de la ville (en norvégien sous-titré en anglais). C'est très bien fait, le ton employé est très juste, à la fois distrayant, instructif, émouvant, avec une pointe d'humour. Les images témoignent d'un véritable et sérieux travail de recherche et de collecte d'archives. L'exposition qui témoigne de cette histoire est bien documentée, comprend des maquettes, des objets et une scéno immersive sympa. Elle manque d'un parcours à suivre et du coup paraît un peu décousue. L'archéologie est représentée dans une salle, qui expose un trésor d'argent datant du haut Moyen Âge, mis au jour dans le secteur, accompagné par le travail d'une artiste contemporaine brodeuse. Une maquette de la maison longue de Borg complète la contextualisation. Un tambour shamane same du XVIe s. est également présenté. Comme partout en Norvège, le seul problème est celui des horaires d'ouverture : il faut entrer dans le créneau étroit de 10 à 16h. Dommage surtout l'été où le jour s'éternise...

(Translated by Google) Small museum, below a fish exhibition, in the middle an art exhibition and above an exhibition about Bodø. Some in English, everything described in Norwegian.

(Translated by Google) Not so much to look at in 1. Etg (Original) Ikke så mye å se på i 1. Etg

Very small, but interesting museum, with an art exhibition and documentary with a good overview of the places history, it was just 10 NOK for students

(Translated by Google) Boring (Original) Kedelig

(Translated by Google) The history of Bodo and the Second World War on the upper floor was impressive and ingeniously described with a small guide. The aquarium and the art objects were not really interesting for us, but this is probably also a matter of taste. (Original) Die Geschichte von Bodo und den zweiten Weltkrieg im oberen Geschoss war eindrücklich und mit einem kleinen Guide genial beschrieben. Das Aquarium und die Kunstobjekte waren für uns nicht wirklich interessant, jedoch ist dies vermutlich auch Geschmackssache.

Lovely museum about the history of Bodø, highly recommend. Museum is small but packed with information, staff are really helpful and pleasant
