Lofotakvariet, Marine research center in Kabelvåg, Norway
The Lofoten Aquarium displays local marine species in large tanks, including Northeast Arctic cod, crustaceans, sea cucumbers, and other Norwegian sea creatures.
Built in 1989 by Blå strek arkitekter from Tromsø, the aquarium received the Northern Norwegian architecture prize in 1990 for its design integration with the landscape.
The aquarium educates visitors about Norwegian fishing traditions and sustainable aquaculture practices through exhibitions and daily presentations of marine life.
The facility operates from February to November, with winter hours from 11:00 to 15:00 and extended summer hours from 10:00 to 18:00 between June and August.
Visitors can observe twice-daily feeding sessions of seals and otters while learning about the cold-water coral ecosystems specific to the Lofoten region.
