At The Museum

The museum presents modern coastal culture with a special focus on the history of the Norwegian aquaculture industry. Its main base is at Fillan. The museum shop has, among other things, gift items, books, maps and fun toys/activities for children. Here you can also visit the permanent exhibitions ”The People of Flatvika” and ”The Russian Shipwreck”. ”The People of Flatvika” allows you to get to know the people living on the coastal farm Flatvika in 1920. The ”Russian shipwreck” raises the question: what really happened when Jedinorog sank off Kvenvær in 1760 in a tremendous storm?

Price for visiting the exhibitions: Adults NOK 100,-, seniors/students NOK 80,-, children under 16 years accompanied by family free of charge.

On the ground floor of Hitra Express Boat Terminal at Sandstad you will find the museum’s brand new aquaculture exhibition ”Rings in the water”. This exhibition looks at various ripple effects of the aquaculture industry in nature, society and management. It is free of charge to visit this exhibition.

On the 1st floor of the terminal, the museum has an exhibition where you can get to know the pioneers of Norwegian aquaculture. Many of them invested both houses and homes to succeed and should be credited with the fact that aquaculture currently accounts for approximately 22 000 jobs in Norway. This exhibition is free of charge as well.

Both at Fillan and at Sandstad a nice play nook has been created for children and in Fillan all children who want it get a free ”work booklet” with coloring, tasks and hunting for hidden Russian sailors.

KOK DELICACY, Fillan

After the summer of 2023 KOK delicacy opens its doors in the new Hjorten shopping mall at Fillan. This is a place for those who really love food and who think it is a human right to be able to buy sea crawfish or small meat from local calfs when you live in the middle of the country’s best food basket. KOK is started by food enthusiasts who cooperate with small-scale producers and independent suppliers on the islands and on the mainland, but they will also carry goods of foreign origin. There will be mustard and spices, cheeses, oil and hams, local vegetables and long-travelled French roquefort. And they’ll also have a simple serving with a glass of wine. Maybe they’ll make fish soup – and maybe they’ll get the best potatoes on the island...

Follow KOK on Facebook for updated information.

You can also buy some local products both in the grocery stores at Fillan and in the hamlets.

We must mention our international giants, Hitramat with crab and Lerøy and Mowi with salmon, products from which you can find in stores all over the country – as well as in many other countries.
