Bohus Museum of Vicarage

The name Vikarvet refers to the area of Viken, which includes present-day Bohuslän and the area around Olsofjorden. The association was founded in 1915 and the museum displays artefacts from Bohuslän's coastal industries, such as the preservative, stone, fishing and maritime industries, as well as a number of fine model ships and ship paintings. In addition to the museum building, there are furnished fishermen's cottages with boathouses from the beginning of the 19th century. Discover the old open fishing boat, "Frifararen", which is on display in the area. The museum celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2015.
