About Andøymuseet
The Andøymuseet is located by the harbour of Andenes and presents stories related to life in northern Norway. The exhibition about Hilmar Nøis’s trajectory lets you learn about the work and experience of someone who lived in polar regions. The visit takes place in the museum building, separate from the lighthouse climb.
The visit helps provide context to the village and its inhabitants’ relationship with the sea. The museum and the lighthouse belong to the same institution but are different spaces and require their own time. Choose the type of visit before organizing the sequence of the two sites.
The address is Richard Withs gate 9, a walk from the lighthouse area. Allow time for the exhibitions before heading to Bleik beach or another activity on the island. The museum’s schedule should be confirmed for the day of travel; an indoor visit can be combined with a walking route along the harbour.
