    Great museum, opened in 2019, about the more than 400 years of coastal shipping in northern Norway. The focus of the modern exhibition is the stockfish trade and the Anna Karoline, the only surviving "jekt" boat ever, over 18m long and 19m high. The life of the sailors, traders and especially the role of women is explained very clearly with maps, exhibits and in Norwegian and English. There are also a few nice hands-on opportunities. Admission currently costs 150Kr for adults and you can easily spend two hours in the exhibitions alone. The hourly guided tours (Norwegian or English) through the exhibition and outdoor area are included in the admission and highly recommended, as you also get a glimpse of the fishing huts outside, for example. The attached café is also fine and the staff is very friendly. A small shop rounds things off. The Jektefartsmuseet rightly won the Norwegian “Museum of the Year 2024” award this year.
