In the archaeological exhibition and in the cinema, we have an audio guide system. In the Viking chieftain's house and outdoors, there is no audio guide system. Due to COVID-19, we do not lend iPods, tablets or headsets.
In the Lofoten islands, as well as in the Vesterålen islands and the Narvik region, there is much to be explored. If you are looking for insight into local life and history, the museums are the place to be. And, they are found all over the place.
