Museum in Norway

The Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society or Polar Bear Club (Norwegian Isbjørnklubben, "Polar Bear Club") is an exhibition about local history and Arctic hunting in the town of Hammerfest in Finnmark, Norway. The significance of the polar bear is that this animal is the town's mascot and heraldic crest. For all its remoteness, Hammerfest has a long history as a trading port, and Polar Bear Club sets out to commemorate this. In the museum's single room are a variety of mementos of the early life of Hammerfest, including a profusion of stuffed animals, early Arctic hunting, traveling and camping
