Norwegian Wild Salmon Centre in Lærdal
We have taken the Lærdal river into the centre and you get to experience the salmon in their true element - yes, you can almost touch them. Enjoy this rich media exhibition and get a deeper understanding of the Atlantic wild salmon.
Information
The life cycle of the salmon
Inside the exhibition, you can follow the salmon through its upbringing in the river, its migration out into the ocean, back into the fjord, and up its tributary until it meets the waterfall it cannot pass. What does the salmon encounter on its way? What has the salmon meant to us? What do we know about the state of the salmon's environment? How do humans affect the salmon's life before and now? What does the future look like?
The exhibition area
We use film, sound, large projections, and images. For those who want more information, we have interactive screens. There are quizzes and challenges for young and old. You can do it all in 20 minutes or spend the whole day.
We talk about:
The salmon's wonderful life.
The relationship between salmon and humans.
The conflicts of interest related to salmon and their habitats.
The salmon's ability to adapt and survive and how we manage it.
The future - what does the future look like for salmon in light of climate change and human consumption of nature?
