Mayor’s visit and tour of the Otolith

This week we had a nice visit from Vågan mayor Vidar T. Benjaminsen, who was shown around the building by project manager Jens-Henrik Andersen.

SKREI is on track for opening next summer, and we can start to imagine what the exhibition rooms, café and museum shop will look like when it is finished. The foyer is already an experience in itself – soon it will be filled with life and movement!

Thank you very much for visiting!
