Træna Museum documents the this archipelago’s history going back to the Stone Age. Some of the archaeological discoveries displayed date back at least 9000 years. For this reason, Træna can rightfully call itself “the oldest fishing community in Norway”.
The mysterious gold ring
The museum exhibits some of the ancient objects found at Sanna and in Kirkhelleren, the large cave that today is often used as a concert venue. Perhaps the most striking object is a mysterious gold ring with Latin inscriptions that was found in a potato field on Sanna. The ring is one of only two such discoveries in Norway. Other rooms in the museum exhibit objects from all periods of the 20th century, providing insight into the life of coastal families closer to our own times. Read More
