The Dokken museum on Hasseløy takes you to the very start of the great herring era and gives us a rich insight into the everyday life in Haugesund a 150 years ago. Just across the bridge to Hasseløy (“Bakarøy”) you will find Dokken, the open air museum – a green area surrounded by a number of smaller buildings that tells the historic stories of old Haugesund. The museum represents an important part of the urban environment in Haugesund during the herring times and shows how people lived between 1850 and 1950. The first houses of Dokken were built almost 200 years ago. Back then there was a small, closed harbor for the herring boats, called a “dock”. It is from here the name “Dokken” originates. The Dokken museum is children friendly and has several activities that engage children of all ages. The grassy gardens at Dokken is a pleasant play area and a great place to take your family. In the winter months, the Dokken museum is closed, but the courtyard is open.
