Source
The Berlevåg Harbor Museum is situated in the town of Berlevåg, in the Finnmark region of Norway. It forms part of the Museums for Coastal Culture and Reconstruction in Finnmark and the Coastal Administration Museums. The museum is housed in the old premises of the State Harbor Authority, which were rebuilt after the burning down of Berlevåg in the autumn of 1944 during the German retreat.
Main Building and Exhibitions
The main building of the Berlevåg Harbor Museum was formerly the warehouse of the harbor authority. The exhibitions housed in this building provide insights into various aspects of Berlevåg's history. This is depicted through a collection of photographs and objects that have been carefully preserved and displayed for visitors.
Preserved Boats and Equipment
The Berlevåg Harbor Museum has a collection of preserved wooden boats and fishing and navigation equipment. It also features a boathouse. The museum provides information about the Kjølnes lighthouse, which has played a significant role in the region's history.
Second Floor Exhibitions and Displays
On the second floor of the Berlevåg Harbor Museum, visitors can watch a film about the construction of the breakwater, which provides a comprehensive overview of the harbor's history up until the 2010s. The museum also features a reconstructed living environment from a 1930s/40s fishing village, a piano from the late 19th century, and various objects that reflect the rich music and cultural life of the municipality.
