MS Polstjerna

The MS Polstjerna is Norway's best-preserved sealing ship.

The ship had 33 fishing seasons and harvested close to 100,000 seals from the West Ice and East Ice, before its final season in 1981.

[1] It was then purchased by the Arctic Society (Arktisk Forening) and later transferred to the University Museum.

The building that houses the drydocked ship was designed by the Per Knudsen architectural firm, which won a architectural competition for the facility.

The building also features temporary and permanent exhibits.
