You might not agree with the continuation of the practice this museum explores, but there's no denying that Sandefjord's Whaling Museum is a well-presented exhibition of this most controversial of Norwegian activities, and offers a balanced view of both sides of the story.

As well as charting the history of Norwegian whaling, with photos and equipment, it contains information and displays on general Arctic and marine wildlife.
