Published 17 June 2026
On June 3rd and 4th, Museum Nord was able to present its venues and experiences to tour operators from a number of markets.
Why did the first wireless morse signals in Northern Europe go out from the telegraph station in Sørvågen, far west of Lofoten, and where were these signals sent? Sørvågen radio – a telecommunications museum gives you the answers to these and many other questions. The museum is located in the former telegraph and telephone exchange. The house was built in 1914 according to the design of Lilla Georgine Hansen, Norway’s first female architect.
Sørvågen Radio has a rich and exciting collection about the local and national telecommunications history.
Wander through the different eras of telecommunications, and get to know the devices from telegraph to telephone exchange and wireless communication. See our exhibition of mobile phones, compare your own with the 1973 edition – it’s quite a difference!
