Tirpitz Museum, War museum in Kåfjord, Norway

The Tirpitz Museum contains more than 3000 photographs and numerous artifacts related to the German battleship Tirpitz from World War II.

The wooden building of the museum, originally from Lillehammer in 1880, was relocated to Alta in 1946 during post-war reconstruction efforts.

The museum presents personal stories and local perspectives from residents who experienced the German naval presence in the Altafjord during wartime.

Located in Western Finnmark, the museum operates as an educational center with exhibits documenting the military operations in Northern Norway.

Local resident Even Blomkvist personally gathered the entire collection of wartime memorabilia, uniforms, and photographic documentation housed in the museum.
