The Norsk Fiskevæsmuseum in Å is the best-preserved fishing village environment in Norway — fourteen historic buildings still in their original locations, all still serving their original purposes. The oldest dates to the 1840s. Walk through the rorbu fishermen's quarters, the boathouse, the bakery that has been baking the same bread for over 150 years, and the blacksmith's forge that is still in regular use.
What sets this museum apart from many open-air sites is that it feels inhabited rather than preserved behind glass. Combined with the adjacent Lofoten Stockfish Museum, which tells the thousand-year story of dried cod (tørrfisk) as one of northern Europe's most important trade commodities, this is an hour or two well spent at the end of the road.
