Coastal Heritage

Welcome to the Coastal Heritage Museum, a boat museum in a beautiful setting, a respite from everyday life. There are 2 floors with exhibitions about boats, the people of the sea, Lofoten fishing, sailing and plastic pollution in the sea. The museum also has its own wooden boatyard. Here they have been building wooden boats in the same way for over 1000 years. See real boat builders in action and experience the smell of tar and newly cut wood. At the Coastal Heritage Museum coastal culture is brought to life with a large outdoor area for children to run around in and a fire pit which is open year-round. At the seaside and on the beach, you can look for small creatures and seaweed or fish for crabs from the pier. The museum has several exciting treasure hunts both inside and outside. The exhibition “Boat and sustainability” is suitable for the whole family and can be experienced both on the ground and in the air through film, pictures, real life accounts, boats and other exciting objects. There is even a play area with a pier and crawling tunnel. If you want a bit more peace and quiet, you can take a breather by taking the path along the river. You will find many benches; on the museum quay and by the boat sheds, in Solveggen on the new pier and not least in the bright and warm café Flo and Fjære where you can get a delicious bite to eat. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea whilst you look out over the quietly flowing Prest River.
