At the Fisheries Museum in Sound you can see the blacksmith creating his well-known cormorants, using techniques from the beginning of the 20th century. You will also find boats, engines and other artefacts from Lofoten's fishing history.
A very special attraction at the Sund Fisheries Museum is the collection of boat engines, many of which can still be operated ... and indeed, the characteristic sound of the old engines is quite typical of the museum in Sund. MrC learning from the expert: Besten!
In the boathouse, you will find about 10 old-fashioned boats, most of them originally used in fishing operations during the former years of the great Lofoten Fishery, before the motorisation of the fleet.
The fisherman's cabin, or "rorbua", is the oldest building in Sund and now contains a wide range of old domestic utensils, tools and other objects used in the fisherman's homes of old.
A slipway and engineering workshop are situated close by the museum.
