Vikings from Lofotr made the trip to Meieriet Library to create fun experiences for all the children who participated in Superlørdag.
The text is based on Wenche Bolle’s memories from growing up in Mortsund and tells about the prayer house as an important religious and social meeting place.
September 19 is the official opening of SKREI – and this will be celebrated with a whole week filled with exciting experiences!
Museum Nord is developing its offering through ambitious project work. Projects are often the basis for research activity, collection and dissemination.
SKREI will be a centre for knowledge and experiences related to the Lofoten fishery and Norway’s most important fish. SKREI extends beyond the confines of a traditional museum.
SKREI Research Center (SRC) is a three-year project to create an infrastructure that coordinates international, interdisciplinary research and knowledge about topics related to the Arctic cod.
The Horizon Europe project “Culturality” addresses cultural heritage in rural and peripheral areas to promote creative tourism and sustainability.
The Horizon Europe project CONVIVIUM addresses sustainable food and food culture in Lofoten.
All skrei is cod, but not all cod is skrei. What exactly is skrei?
Lofoten's history is a story about fish. The population has harvested resources from the sea all year round, while many have also run small farms. But it is the seasonal fishing for skrei that has had the greatest impact on life here along the coast.
At Lofotakvariet you will see both large and small animals found in our sea areas.
