With the history in the walls

The Norwegian Fisheries Museum is standing on poles in the water. The warehouse stands on wooden piles out into the sea, and the original canals around the buildings have been restored. These warehouses and canals were typical for the historical Sandviken district, and gave rise to its nickname, the “Venice of the North”. Here you can immerse yourself in the fishery history in authentic surroundings. 

You can come to the museum, no matter how the weather is outside. Come for a short visit during the week or make a day excursion of the visit during weekends. The museum is beautifully situated by the sea, surrounded by the largest veteran boat harbour in Norway.

In the virtual gaming room of the museum you can learn more about the production of seafood. I Fin City you produce salmon and other sea food from roe to finished product. The game is for children, but just as fun for adults. Can you manage to brake the last record?

Just a 5 min walk from the museum you find Storeblå aquaculture visitor centre, an audiovisual universe for all ages. For just an extra NOK 20 you will be enlightened about the aquaculture of today and the future.

Finally, do visit our cozy museum cafe, BOD24, offering a tasteful menu based on fresh ingredients. The ambient is always welcoming, weather it is inside in homely facilities or outside by the harbour. The cafe is open Tuesday - Sunday 11-17.

The museum is universally designed.
