Jakobsensbrygga Warehouse

Arctic Highway


In Sjøgata, the Jakobsensbrygga Warehouse is an excellent small museum that portrays, via some particularly evocative photo blow-ups, the history of Mosjøen from the early 19th century onwards. There's an English guide-pamphlet for each section. It's part of the Vefsn Museum.
