The Coastal Museum Rørvik

Get to know the Norwegian coastal culture and industry through exhibitions and historic walks in the museum Norveg and in the coastal town Rørvik. Norveg’s permanent exhibition traces the major milestones in our 10,000-year history, from when the first humans followed the ice northwards, through to today’s challenges as one of the leading fishing nations.

The museum consists of the main museum Norveg, the old trading place Berggården and the old wharfs. The museum was founded in 1975, based on the collection of the local historian Paul Woxeng.

During the summer season you can experience a guided sightseeing tour about norweigan fish farming. We offer unique boat trips to a modern salmon farm and out to the authentic fishing village of Sør-Gjæslingan. The café at Norveg is also open during the summer season.

In the period from May to September we also offer accomodation in historic fishing village cabins at Sør-Gjæslingan, located in the sea of Folla on the Namdalen coast. We welcome you to the genuine and unique Sør-Gjæslingan experience!
