Saturday café and lecture: “What did we eat before the potato?” by Yngvar Gustavsen

Saturday 12 July 2025 11:00 - 14:00
Many people sit and stand outside Alsvåggården in Øksnes and listen to a person.

Four Saturdays in June and July, join us as the café in Alsvåggården serves coffee, cakes, and waffles, and the museum hosts storytelling and lectures in the museum building.

On Saturday 12.7, Yngvar Gustavsen returns to talk about what type of green plants we ate before the potato was introduced into our diet.

The summer exhibition “My ship is loaded with…” is open, and the café has a slightly larger selection for the occassion.
