A Deep Dive into Coastal Culture and the History of Solvalla
Just a short stroll from the campsite, you’ll find our charming coastal museum, housed in historical sea houses down by the old harbour. Here, you can travel back in time and learn more about the hardy people who have lived off and with the sea for generations. The museum tells the fascinating story of coastal fishing, shipping traffic, and the evolution of the local community—from an era of small coastal farms to today’s idyllic holiday paradise.
The exhibitions are rich with authentic artifacts, from antique fishing gear and old boat engines to personal letters and photographs that provide a unique glimpse into everyday life in days gone by. The atmosphere within the old wooden buildings, with the unmistakable scent of tar and saltwater, enhances the experience and brings history to life. It is a place to reflect on how coastal life has changed, while many traditions are still upheld to this day.
An Educational Break in Historical Surroundings
The museum is designed to be engaging for all ages, featuring exciting stories tailored for the youngest visitors and deep dives into the archives for adults. Whether you are seeking shelter from a rain shower or simply want a quiet break from the sun, the museum provides a deeper understanding of the landscape where you are vacationing. We also offer scheduled guided tours during the high season, where our guides share incredible tales of shipwrecks and everyday heroism that you won't find in the history books.
