The story
The Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) is a World War II museum located in Svolvær, Norway. It focuses on providing informative content about the Second World War, with a particular emphasis on events that took place in the Lofoten area and Northern Norway during the German occupation of Norway (1940–1945). The non-partisan museum officially opened on June 15, 1996, after a lengthy period of collection and planning by William Hakvaag (born 1948). The previously privately owned museum has been part of Museum Nord since 2010.
