Message from Rachel Pohl and Charles Post

The Norwegian Fishing Village Museum in Å is a fascinating open-air museum located in the small fishing village of Å, in the Lofoten Islands of Northern Norway. Here are a few reasons why visiting the museum is such a nice experience:

The museum consists of a collection of historic buildings that have been carefully restored to their original condition, providing a glimpse into the daily lives and traditions of the local fishing communities over the past several hundred years. Visitors can explore the various buildings, such as fishermen's cabins, a general store, a bakery, and a cod liver oil factory, to learn about the history and culture of the region.

It's located in a beautiful coastal setting, surrounded by mountains and fjords, providing breathtaking views of the natural landscape. Visitors can explore the picturesque harbor, enjoy a picnic on the beach, or go for a hike in the surrounding mountains.

It's a perfect stop if you're looking for a family friendly experience or somewhere to take a water break in between hikes or adventures!
