VEGA WORLD HERITAGE CENTER
Learn about island life and why eider farming and fishing led to World Heritage status.
The center was opened in June 2019 and was designed by architects Ekberg Lous. The center is located on the north side of Vega, on Gardsøya, right next to the newly built marina and speedboat quay.
From the center, you can enjoy stunning views of the ever-changing sea and sky of the archipelago. Here you look straight towards the World Heritage Site, the Seven Sisters, Dønnamannen and Lovund.
Our exhibitions
Our main exhibition, "Ville vakre Vega", tells the story of Vegaøyan, from the Stone Age to the present day. You'll learn about the life of the islanders and the eider tradition.
Café and shop
Whether the north wind is whipping up the sea with white horses or the sunset is turning the summer sea pink, the view from our World Heritage Café is magical.
The creation workshop
A creative workshop is a place to inspire creativity, whether it's creating something new, learning a new technique or repairing something old.
