Øksnes Museum

Visit the beautiful Alsvåggården, with over 450 years of history.

In the main courtyard, the story of the trading post, people and buildings is told. Here you can join a guided tour, or enjoy a cup of coffee in historic surroundings
in the living room or garden. Visit the shop and post office from the latter half of the 1800s.

In the summer of 2023, you can experience the first prototype of the Vesterål model at the museum, which shows parts of Øksnes and Andøy. This is a high-tech and interactive model developed by GaiaVesterålen, in collaboration with Deadline Media and Sintef. Here you can, among other things, see live boat traffic, info about climate, seasons, and settlements. See the development of settlements over time, brought to life by an exhibition of archaeological artifacts found in the region, and artifacts from the museum’s collection.

We offer guided tours outside the summer season as well, and actively involve children in activities mediated through “Den kulturelle skolesekken” and through regular museum visits.
