Welcome to
The Old Shop in Å
The Fishing Village Museum has taken over the running of the grocer’s shop in Å, in premises from 1843. The old timber walls have been uncovered and the premises have been renovated. We combine our museum reception desk with the running of the shop and can therefore stay open all year round.
