Museums & Culture

With seafaring, agriculture, and a rich industrial history, there is plenty to show off and share with the world. As such, we have several special museums driven by the passion of private individuals. Arctic travels, antique motors, World Heritage sites, and more. Here you can get to know each community's unique museums!

Creativity is one of the special spices that makes life here a bit more remarkable. Both for us who live here and for our visitors. It permeates our daily life at the office, workshop, and school. It fills our evenings with music, song, theater, and art. It can be seen in the multitude of small cafés and shops. Here is a sample of what you can see and experience of the region's cultural life!
