The world's only lutefisk museum is located in Drøbak, in the charming street Kroketønna.

The main purpose of the Norwegian Lutefisk Museum is to tell about how the lutefisk lives from birth to glowing plate and how the lover comes into the picture. It is also to be a gathering place for passionate "lutefisk" lovers and a place where depressed lovers can seek solace in the worst summer crunch, when the lutefisk is as far gone as it can be.

The museum is also a gathering place for Drøbak's own lutefisk lovers on the biggest day of the year, namely "Lutefisk Day". The museum is co-located with Drøbak boat association's maritime museum, and is located on the second floor of the building.

The museum is open in summer and self-service from mid-May to September.

In the run-up to Christmas, it is possible to book private guided tours before trudging up the "Lutefisk Avenue" and enjoying the traditional norwegian christmas food lutefisk at, for example, the traditional restaurant Kumlegaarden.

Contact lutefish lover Jan-Kåre Øien for tours.
