Lonely Planet review for Whaling Museum

The impressive Whaling Museum in Sandefjord charts the history of Norwegian whaling, with photos, equipment and information on marine life. The museum’s exhibits are complemented by the 1950s whaleboat Southern Actor, which is moored at the harbour; entry is by the same ticket. There’s also the striking sculpture monument to whalers by the water.
