1. Gjenreisningsmuseet
Hammerfest was completely demolished by the Germans during World War II, and the Museum of Reconstruction documents how the city was painstakingly rebuilt. The museum is a place of pride for Norwegians, who flock here from all across the country. The two floors of exhibits let you compare the historic city from 1943 with the one you see today.

3. Gjenreisningsmuseet for Finnmark og Nord-Troms
Although it covers the county of Finnmark's history since the Stone Age, this museum primarily focuses on World War II, when the German army burned the community to the ground as part of a scorched-earth policy. Through photographs, videos, and sound effects, the museum recounts the residents' struggle to rebuild their lives. The interesting exhibit includes dwellings that were built inside caves after the town was evacuated.
