MS Polstjerna
The exhibition SNOWHOW
In the dock under the boat, we present the exhibition SNOWHOW – What the Polar Heroes learned from the Inuit, the Sami and the Arctic Seafarers. The exhibition depicts the prerequisites that Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen had to have to succeed in their polar expeditions, reflecting on how the Norwegian polar knowhow (snowhow) rests on the knowledge of Arctic natives and North Norwegian Arctic seafarers.
Address: Hjalmar Johansens gate 10 (next to Polaria)
Opening hours: June 1st – August 15th. Every day 11:00 -17:00 (11 am - 5 pm)
Accessability: Please observe that the stairs inside the ship are very steep. Visitors not comfortable with climbing ladders are advised to stay on the main deck. Due to some high thresholds and dim lighting in parts of the ship, we recommend visitors with vision impairments to be accompanied.
For more information about polar history visit the Polar Museum in Søndre Tollbodgate 11.
