On 16 June 1999, Hurtigruten Museum in Stokmarknes began housing an old ship, called MS Finnmark. Peab now has been commissioned to accommodate this ship in the new building, which will become one of the attractions for the new Hurtigruten Museum.

Peab region manager Gro Skaar Knutsen said: “This is a wonderful project for us. We spent a lot of time on our proposal and we’re really pleased that the developer chose us to do the job. We look forward to getting started.”

The structure around the MS Finnmark will cover 3,600m². The building will mostly feature glass and steel.

“We will restore and build on the existing buildings when we house the ship so that the entire Hurtigruten Museum will be new and modern.”
