"Museums of Å" Top 5 Page for this destination Lofoten Things to Do Tip by yooperprof

Interestingly, there are two separate and unaffiliated fishing museums in Å. One is the Lofoten Stockfish Museum; the other, the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum. There are both museums made up of a variety of buildings and displays, but the latter is larger and seems to have more going on, so it was the one which I visited. (Admission to the Stockfish Museum was 40 NOK, the Fishing Village Museum 45 NOK. A joint ticket for both museums is available for 70 NOK) I don't know why they don't combine their efforts: it would seem to make more sense. I'm sure there's an interesting local backstory involving pride, prestige, and local politics.
