Vindafjordmuseet

The Vindafjord Museum is located just northeast of Vikedal town center, in Vindafjord municipality. Here you can get an educational insight into the town’s history and local traditions.

The museum is open every Tuesday and Sunday at 12:00-15:00.

The Vindafjord Museum focuses on local craft and business history, with special traditions related to shipbuilding. Here you will find a rich collection of objects from work and everyday life, and models of sailing boats. The museum also contains some of the oldest books from one of Norway’s oldest libraries – Det Vigedalske Læseselskab – founded in 1803.

The museum is set up as a rural farmyard with buildings such as a curing room, a traditional Norwegian food storage house, a mill house, and a barn. In addition, the municipality has rebuilt its last telegraph station, the only one of its kind in the district.
