Children’s exhibition opening: Did you hear that? – Stories that warn

Exhibition opening for the exhibition “Did you hear that? – Storiess that warn” – Sunday 6 September at Narvik Museum!

The exhibition is suitable for older children and adults.

The program for the event is coming, – it will include storytelling, refreshments, and activities suitable for families with children!

About the exhibition:

We gather on a dark evening, and tell about horror and ghost. About someone who narrowly escaped death. Someone who was saved from the storm. Some who lost everything because they took more than they needed. The stories are shared again and again. In a hundred years, the same stories will be shared. Maybe something has changed.

Legends are about something that is supposed to have happened; about historical events and people, how nature and landscape came to be, and encounters with the supernatural. They entertain, inspire and seek to explain the incomprehensible.

The traveling exhibition from 2026 is made by Øksnes Museum and Narvik Museum. Legends from Ofoten, Lofoten and Vesterålen are presented here. The selected stories are about encounters with the supernatural that knows more than humans. In the legends, people are warned of danger, or warned of good or bad things that can happen.
