Magic Ice Bar Svolvær, Ice sculpture bar in Svolvær, Norway.
Magic Ice Bar Svolvær is an ice hall filled with frozen sculptures where temperatures stay well below freezing year-round. Artists from different countries have created works that cover walls, counters, and display areas throughout the space.
The ice hall developed as a modern leisure venue on Svolvær's waterfront, a region historically shaped by fishing industries. Creating an ice sculpture space for visitors represents a contemporary addition to the area's maritime heritage.
The ice sculptures reflect artistic expression tied to fishing and maritime life, offering visitors a view of how creative work connects to local traditions. This blend of global artistry with regional themes makes the space feel rooted in its coastal setting.
Visitors receive thermal wraps at the entrance and can enjoy drinks served in glasses made of ice. The space maintains around minus eight degrees, so wearing warm layers under the wrap is a good idea.
The artworks here change with the seasons as artists regularly create new pieces while others melt away. This constant evolution means no two visits are quite the same.
