Whaling through the ages

Hvalfangst2_450x334
This exhibition focuses on the history of whaling along the coast of Finnmark. From the occasional whale hunt in preindustrial times, to the era of large scale whaling, which ended in 1903 after a curious incident known as the “Mehamn rebellion”. Whaling has been the topic of many a heated debate ever since, and the exhibition offers an insight into later developments, including legislation, lobby positions and environmental factors.
