The Pomormuseet, located in Vardø, Finnmark, is a museum dedicated to the history of the Pomors from the White Sea area. It provides an in-depth look into the Pomor trade, which involved the exchange of Norwegian fish and Russian timber and rye flour. This trade was a significant part of the region's history from the 18th century until 1917.
Post-Revolutionary Relations between Northern Norway and Northern Russia
In addition to its focus on the Pomor trade, the Pomormuseet also provides information about the relationship between Northern Norway and Northern Russia following the Russian revolution. This aspect of the museum offers a unique perspective on the historical ties between these two regions.
The Historical Setting of the Pomormuseet
The collections of the Pomormuseet are housed in the "Storsjåen", a 19th-century wharf and sea use facility owned by merchant Brotkorbs. This historical setting adds to the authenticity and charm of the museum, providing visitors with a glimpse into the past.
