Welcome to Skudeneshavn Museum, a cultural experience like no other.
Fishing, herring salting, trade, and seafaring have dominated Skudeneshavn for nearly 200 years.
In the museum’s 1,800 m² space, you’ll experience this history up close—with original boats, equipment, and boathouses from the heyday of the herring fishery, and a unique glimpse into the homes, shops, barbershops, and dental offices of the town’s bourgeoisie as they looked 150 years ago.
Customized programs for domestic and international tourist groups
We have multilingual guides and can tailor experiences for different tourist groups. The museum welcomes over 100 buses a year carrying tourists from all over the world.
