Barentsburg Sights

Sights in Barentsburg

  1. Pomor Museum

    The simple, appealing little Pomor museum outlines (in Russian only) the historic Pomor trade with mainland Russia, plus Russian mining and history on Svalbard. Especially worthwhile are the excellent geological exhibits and the collection of artefacts suggesting Russian activity in Svalbard prior to the archipelago’s accepted European ‘discovery’ by Willem Barents.

  2. Orthodox Chapel

    The small wooden Orthodox Chapel commemorates the twin disasters of 1996 and 1997. Above the football pitch and set aside from the community's other buildings, it merits poking your nose inside.
