Petter Dass Museum

The Petter Dass Museum exhibits Norwegian cultural heritage through a collection of artifacts within a modern building designed by Snøhetta architects in 2007.

The museum complex includes an 18th-century parsonage and stands near a 13th-century medieval church constructed with local soapstone materials.

The institution preserves the legacy of Petter Dass, a 17th-century poet-priest who documented life in Northern Norway through his literary work Nordlands Trompet.

Visitors can access the museum year-round except Mondays, with guided tours available during summer months from June through August.

The museum building integrates into the landscape, offering views of Norwegian fjords while housing exhibitions about regional poetry and maritime traditions.
