Guiding in the fishing village and museum at Støtt

Join us for a “journey” that explores our proud heritage, in the Fisheries Museum on the second floor of Støtt Old Trading Post. Storytellers will share tales of the fishermen’s life and toils, of the merchants, of the islands’ history, of the old craft of drying cod, and of the coastal trade with Bergen and export abroad. You also have the opportunity to see the striking illustrations that the renowned artist Kaare Espolin Johnson made for Johan Bojer’s novel The Last of the Vikings. And we’ll tell you more about the lives of the fishermen who inspired Bojer’s novels.
