Norwegian Coastal Express Museum, Stokmarknes
Facts and practical information
The Norwegian Coastal Express Museum is located at Richard Withs plass in Stokmarknes in Nordland county—a natural location because the Coastal Express was "born" here. The museum is operated by the Coastal Express Museum Association and it includes the former coastal express ship MS Finnmarken from the Vesterålen Steamship Company. The museum was officially opened by Transport Minister Kjell Opseth on July 2, 1993—the 100th anniversary of the first coastal express voyage. The museum then received its premises in the old administration building of the Vesterålen Steamship Company. In 1999 the museum was relocated to a new location in the Coastal Express Building next to the Coastal Express dock. ()
