Galleri Lofoten Hus -NO
Vi har Norges største kunstsamling av nordnorske malerier fra perioden rundt forrige århundreskifte - av mange kalt gullalderen i nordnorsk malerkunst.
Her finner du malerier av Otto Sinding, Gunnar Berg, Even Ulving, Einar Berger, Ole Juul, Thorolf Holmboe m.fl., samt en utstilling av arbeidene til Karl Erik Harr.
Galleriet er bygget opp i tre etasjer, og rommer også salgsutstilling av oljemalerier, fotografier fra århundreskiftet, fotografier og lysbildespill av Frank A. Jensen, og kunst- og souvenirbutikk. Galleriet har siden oppstart i 1991 hatt en økende tilstrømning og har nå et årlig besøk på rundt femti tusen gjester.
I 1997 besøkte de europeiske kongefamilier galleriet i forbindelse med Hans Majestet Kong Haralds 60-års dag.
Soccer field of Henningsvaer, Lofoten Islands
On Norway’s Lofoten Islands thirty minutes east of Svolvær is the picturesque fishing village of Henningsvær. Comprised of a number of islets spread among the waters of Vjestfjord, Henningsvær has the most well-preserved architecture of the traditional Norwegian villages, quirky cafes and restaurants, the Hus Gallery, and a burgeoning adventure scene. It’s a wonderful place to visit. Henningsvær’s dramatic setting is on par with Reine, with colourful buildings lining the harbour and the steep mountains of Austvågøya as a backdrop.
Lofoten Islands Norway
Norway's Lofoten Islands are referred to as the Lofoten Wall, because quite literally, they are vertical rows of granite shooting out of the Arctic Sea. A number of colorful fishing villages hug the shoreline and a majority of the inhabitants still depend for their livelihood on the winter cod season.
For travelers, the Lofoten Islands are a stunning place to visit. The traditional red huts (rorbuer) once used to house the annual influx of fishermen have been converted into unique accommodations for travelers. What is more, the Gulf Stream creates what is thought to be the largest temperature anomaly relative to latitude anywhere in the world. The summers are pleasant and the winters are suprisingly mild.
The Lofoten archipelago is composed of seven principal islands arching off mainland Norway over 100 kilometers above the Arctic Circle. 130 kilometers of scenic road, the E10, connects the five easterly islands, and the final two, Værøy and Røst, are accessible by ferry.
Svolvær is the gateway to the islands; thirty minutes down the road is the picturesque fishing village of Henningsvær, home to some of the most well-preserved architecture of the traditional Norwegian fishing villages. Henningsvær consists of a number of islets spread peacefully among the waters of Vjestfjord, and the bridge connecting the village to the main island Austvågøya was not constructed until 1981. As a result, this relic was spared from the concrete building era of the 1960's and 70's.
Lofoten Islands - Rorbuer

Situated at the base of dramatic peaks, Henningsvær doubles as an adventure capital and is home to the North Norwegian School of Mountaineering, a hybrid climbing institution, hostel, and travelers bar. The Lofoten Islands are among the world's renowned climbing destinations, and the School offers everything from a 'Try It!' day to a demanding ascent of Norway's national mountain, Stetind. Moreover, Henningsvær is considered to be the Lofoten's liveliest fishing village and the artistic heart of the islands, home to quirky cafes, restaurants, and the Hus Gallery collection of area painters.
The landscape continues to build in stature as the road winds west, and some of the most dramatic mountain scenery on the Lofoten Islands—and anywhere—is found on Moskenesøya, the westernmost island connected by the road E10. Here lies Reine, the almost fictive fishing village that is sleepier than Henningsvær but with an even more surreal setting. Reine makes a terrific base for the multitude of hiking trails on Moskenesøy and is home to what may be the Lofoten Island's best rorbuer (Reine Rorbuer). It's also great for kayaking, biking, and the panorama culminating the steep scramble up Reinebringen.
God Bless All
