About Jektefartsmuseet
The Jektefartsmuseet presents the coastal trade that linked northern Norway with other ports. The museum is located in Bodøsjøen and centers on a jekt-type vessel used to transport goods along the coast.
The visit helps explain how dried fish, consumer goods and workers moved by sea. The ship Anna Karoline is the starting point for a narrative about commercial relations and coastal communities. The interest extends beyond the boat’s construction technique.
The building is in a coastal area outside Bodø centre. Allow time for the exhibitions and return transport; the nearby outdoor spaces allow a complementary walk when the day’s conditions permit.
