The Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society, also known as the Polar Bear Club, is a unique attraction located in the town of Hammerfest in Troms og Finnmark, Norway. This small exhibition is dedicated to the town's mascot and heraldic crest, the polar bear. It's a fascinating place to learn about the history and culture of this remote town.

Exhibits at the Polar Bear Club

The museum's single room is a treasure trove of mementos from the early life of Hammerfest. It includes a variety of items such as stuffed animals, early Arctic hunting, traveling and camping equipment, and a gallery of photographs, paintings, drawings and writings from the town's history. These artifacts provide a glimpse into the past and show how this tiny town has been a nexus for travelers and traders in the far north for centuries.
