Its entrance area recreates an old grocery shop, a delight in...

Sunnmøre Museum

　　Ålesund's celebrated Sunnmøre Museum is 4km east of the centre. Here, at the site of the old Borgundkaupangen trading centre, active from the 11th to 16th centuries, over 50 traditional buildings have been relocated.
