Harstad Cinema is an architectual pearl. It was built in 1955, and designed by Jan Inge Hovig, an architect that designed many of the most important buildings in Northern Norway after the war. The cinema is a work of art, where varied and rich materials are used; teak, marble, copper and leather.
Some of the structure of the cinema is changed to meet modern demands, but most of the original elements - and atmosphere - are kept. The house has to auditoriums called“ Sal 1” and “Sal 2”.
The cinema is situated in the centre of Harstad , in Erlingsgate 3, 1 minute walk form the town square.
Come and see great art in a cinema with great style!
