The Norwegian Klipfish museum

The Norwegian Klipfish Museum is situated on the island of Gomalandet in Kristiansund in a large and well preserved wharf dating back to 1749. The wharf was used for klipfish production and a visit at the museum gives both a visual and perceptible impression of what came to be of such great importance in regards to the development of Kristiansund from the 18th century and to the post-was period. One can still smell salt and klipfish in the old wharf!
