Visit the Tirpitz Museum

Alta was deeply affected by World War 2 – first occupied by thousands of soldiers and finally burned down near the end of the war. One of the famous icons of the war in this region is the battleship Tirpitz that was anchored in Kåfjord, just a short distance outside of Alta.

The Tirpitz Museum, located very near the location of Tirpitz’s anchorage, is dedicated to displaying artifacts related to Tirpitz and the war. Founded by local resident Even Blomqvist, the museum is home to a fascinating array of objects and photographs from the War and the Tirpitz that help bring the subject into focus. There is also a film that can be viewed that talks about the mini submarine attack against the Tirpitz. Whether you had relatives that served on the Tirpitz or the Allied attackers, or if you simply have a particular interest in the subject, the Tirpitz Museum is an essential place to visit!
