A NEW building is being constructed to house the landlocked ship MS Finnmarken, which will be the centrepiece of the new Hurtigruten Museum in Stokmarknes, Northern Norway.

The 1956 ship arrived at the museum in 1999 and is open to visitors all year during business hours. With its stately interiors and a rich history, the ship is described as the world’s biggest museum artifact.
