Herring Era Museum Description
The Herring Era Museum specializing in the history of the herring may be the only museum of its kind in the world.

The museum is located in Róaldsbrakki, an old Norwegian herring station built in 1907. Inside are fishing exhibitions and old films and photographs.

The lodgings for the young women who worked at the station have been untouched nor has "the office of the herring speculator" from which the salting station was managed.

In front of Róaldsbrakki there is an old-fashioned quay with everything set up for the salting process.

Realistic performances of the local theatrical group re-enact the working methods and often end in everyone dancing to music played on the accordion.
