Through live music, film, lectures, storytelling and good stories, we explore what life along the coast has meant for the building of Norway, and why the knowledge, values and experiences from here are still astonishingly relevant.
The evening is Nordlandsmuseet's contribution to the Cultural Heritage Days 2026, with this year's theme "Cultural Heritage in Danger", and offers a program created by Ivar Jensen and Bjørn Greve Alsos, both of whom have strong connections to Kjerringøy. trading post .
Fjøsen Café serves Bacalao made from local ingredients, and perhaps a little taste surprise as well – all included in the ticket price.

We offer live music, maybe a little sing-along "on the edge", maybe a premiere of newly written and self-produced music, film, lectures, chatter about the astonishing relevance of our old coastal culture in our high-tech world" , says Ivar Jensen.
