Sortland Museum
Sortland Museum is located in Kulturfabrikken in the centre of Sortland, and show exhibitions. We also host a small museum shop with books and products with a local connection. The museum shows changing exhibitions with different themes, perspectives and expressions. Now you can experience Seabed and the travelling exhibition Warm hands – the cultural history of the mitten.
Come with us to the sea, underwater, into the depths. In Seabed, the importance of the sea in the north is highlighted, its vulnerable ecosystem and the consequences of marine litter and pollution. Take a dive below the surface and meet the plants and fish that live on the shore, on the edge and in the depths of the sea. We also learn about the plastic waste that threatens life in the ocean and on Earth.
Seabed is an exhibition aimed at children, and there are many activities to try along the way. How about driving a submarine, watching movies inside a giant squid, or building sand castles on the bottom of the ocean?
In Kulturfabrikken you will also find a library, cinema and a nice café.
