The cultural workshop in the old town, Sjøgata in Mosjøen, is a unique environment where past and present blend together.

A café with soul

The cosy café on the ground floor is open every weekday. Here you can enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, and traditional dishes, and see exhibitions of paintings by foreign as well as Norwegian artists. Every Friday there is a lunch concert at 1200 with local musicians, eager amateurs, and professionals. On some Fridays, there are special guest musicians and even choirs. All concerts are free.

Originally a commercial building dating from 1862, the venue has been lovingly restored under the guidance of the Norwegian Directorate of Cultural Heritage. Today, the Cultural Workshop is a popular multi-purpose house that rents out facilities for many different activities and is Mosjøen’s favourite hangout.
