Flakstad kommune is really rather quaint. The quintessential Lofoten fishing villages (including Nusfjord which you have to pay to enter), eighteenth century wooden church (inevitably closed most of the time), mountains, fjords, Zen-like sculpture...and the tattiest, possibly most Norwegian fishing village of Sund, complete with a shed full of old diesel engines (not "historic" just old) posing as a maritime museum and asking a mere £5 to enter. When will they realise? Either it is of cultural significance and merits support from the Tourist Board, government or some other sponsor or it has to be commercially relevant and pay its own way. They seem to work on the principle that it costs so much to run, therefore they have to charge enough per visitor to make it pay, quite oblivious to any concept of value for money. You have been warned; Munich Science Museum this is not!
