Grenseland Museum, Kirkenes

This is easily reached by ordinary service bus from the boat while it is moored at Kirkenes before starting its trip back to Bergen. The museum claims to be in a state of permanent development at the momet and certainly in April 1992 the museum of the works of Jon Savio, a tragic Sami artist, was incorporated into the main museum, which also served as a war [or anti-war] museum based on local experiences of WW2.

Both parts are worth some time. Savio's woodcuts are a revalation and in the other part there are some very touching writings by children during the war period - more..
