极地博物馆

2、纳尔维克 Narvik：www.destinationnarvik.com位于北极圈内，可作为北角之旅的起点。与瑞典的基律纳有火车相连，是北欧最北的旅游列车，沿途风景也相当优美。在市内游览时，可坐缆车上山顶看峡湾全景，非常震撼，75克朗，www.narvikfjellet.no。3、极地动物园：www.polarzoo.no/ 地址:Bonesveien, 9360 Bardu 巴尔迪Bardu撒朗斯达伦Salangsdalen河谷的世界最北端的极地动物园，在纳尔维克附近的E10公路分路进入E6公路大约30公里处，门票200克朗（园内活动还另收费，较贵）。开放时间具体见官网。极地动物园除了平时不常见到的极地动物外，最吸引人的地方是园内设有专门的狼舍和北极狐舍，里面有人工饲养的极地狼和北极狐，可以和这些动物亲密接触和照相，当然要另外收费，而且比较贵。动物园设在群山之中，四周景色优美，园内围绕各个动物区设有几公里的步行道，大概耗时2个小时左右能游览完。我们到的时候下着小雨，而且看留言簿上几个月前一个上海的游客说什么都没看到，我们还担心看不到动物又白跑一趟，后来一狠心买票进去，发现担心完全是多余的，基本上所有的动物都看到了，一听到有人靠近，动物们还主动从树林中出来靠近篱笆，而且还看到饲养员给灰熊喂食，总来的来说还是很有意思的。门口还有纪念品商店和餐厅，淡季售票处就在餐厅结账的地方。猞猁棕熊和狼关在一个笼子里，不知道他们怎么相处喂食时间到了棕熊吃饱喝足满意的离开了，狼在一旁虎视眈眈好可爱的北极狐冬天没到，毛还没有完全变白付费就可以亲密接触（官网照片）冬天的时候毛色好白（官网照片）瑞典：www.sverigeturism.se/smorgasbord/、 www.visitsweden.com

The museum focuses on life in the polar region, from seal hunting to exploration. Fascinating stuff.

It's a small museum with a very inconsistent collection, but interesting in places. They seem to have added a lot more English signage since some of the poorer reviews, and they had an interesting special exhibit on sea life in the Arctic night. One warning - much of the museum is focused on hunting, including seal and whale, so if you're squeamish or have ethical issues with this, I wouldn't recommend it.

Tromsø is charming city. It delivers the arctic experience and is a starting point for spectacular memories.

It was much better than the Polaria and did have directions and some English descriptions but a lot was in Norwegian only - a bit odd when most visitors would be more likely to read English than Norwegian

From the past, passing throw the present towards a view over the future that is what the "Polarmuseet" can give you. A broad view over the first explorer's and artic hunters to the nowadays scientific rescearchers. Well explained! Well done.

There isn't a huge amount to do in Tromso and the Polarmuseet is one of the things you can while away an hour or so whilst there. There is historical information about Amundsen, his entourage, and accomplishments and any number of artefacts pertinent to living and exploring the frozen wastes of the North. Not a lot of the information is in English and you go up and down stairs to get to the exhibits so will not be easy for infirm or disabled users.

Fabulous little museum. Maybe a few too many stuffed cute looking animals for my taste, but a wonderful journey into what the life was like for polar explorers, their artefacts, their values, their experiences. Definitely worth a visit and extremely child friendly - you can stroke the various exhibits etc

Quite some variety in the collection. I liked the exhibition of birds in the pole night and the room on the Nansen voyage with the Fram.

We trudged through heavy snow from our cruise ship too visit this museum but it was well worth it.There is so much to see and read about Norwegian life of years ago, lots about life in Spitzbergen, it was such an eye opener.If you are visiting Tromso try and make time for this museum it is good and especially, if you are like me, interested in arctic life.

in a historic customs building. Very evocative of Arctic life and interesting exhibition about marine life in the dark polar sea in winter.

Very informative plenty to see just a bit expensive for the entry fee the lay out was good enjoyed the information attached to the exhibits

It's a tiny little place but it's amazing. The model exhibits are great and so realistic- great sound effects too. I would say a must visit.

Firstly, little had been done to clear the snow and ice on the down slope leading to the museum entrance, so that was quite exciting just to get there in one piece. Inside, the downstairs is dedicated to trapping, hunting and whaling whilst upstairs is exhibitions on famous explorers such as Roald Amundsen and Fritjodf Nansen, plus a curious set of exhibitions on the life of Henri Rudi, "King of the polar bears" who had killed 713 in his lifetime and Wanny Woldstad, a pioneering woman trapper. If you are sensitive about animals being killed, be warned as there are many photos of various acts of carnage, plus skins, skulls and various nasty looking tools/weapons throughout the whole museum. I found it interesting as it gave a good insight into the way of life in 1850-1920s, but I was disappointed in that only ~25% of the displays had some sort of English translation and the guidebook was too broad, lacking in detail to compensate. I was not offered (or saw) any audio guide. Finally, it was roasting inside - as it was only barely above freezing, I was kitted out in multi-layers and the small coat rack was full already, so had to carry my layers around with me.

I spent a few hours at the Polar Museum and was fascinated by the history presented. I really enjoyed the exhibits and would recommend a visit here.
