Pyramiden Museum, Arctic mining museum in Pyramiden, Norway
The Pyramiden Museum displays taxidermal polar wildlife specimens, geological samples, and archaeological artifacts from the Pomor people of the Russian North.
The museum, established in 2007, preserves the heritage of a Soviet mining settlement that operated from 1927 until its abandonment in 1998.
Exhibits showcase everyday objects, equipment, and photographs that document the lives of over one thousand Soviet miners who lived in this remote Arctic community.
Visitors reach the museum through guided tours from Longyearbyen, with boat transportation in summer and snowmobile access during winter months.
The museum building contains a stuffed polar bear and an extensive collection of Soviet memorabilia from the period when Pyramiden functioned as a mining town.
