Welcome to our “new” old exhibition in Hvide Sande
In Hvide Sande, we set out to create something new – without everything needing to be new. Our latest project is rooted in reuse and local history, where old materials and maritime memories have been brought back to life in a sensory-rich, salt-scented exhibition.
We’ve breathed new life into a former fish fillet factory, now filled with reclaimed building materials, old tools, pier wood, driftwood, and treasures from both local fishermen and closed-down exhibitions. You’ll find a small boat turned into a touch pool with flatfish, an old wheelhouse filled with sticklebacks, and eels hiding in a bathtub – just like in the garages of fjord fishermen in the old days.
Every object and fish tank tells a story. And as you move through the exhibition, you might notice something in common – everything tastes a little bit salty. Salty from the sea, the fjord, and the fresh air here on the wild west coast of Denmark.
For us, it's about more than reuse. It's about giving things new life, reducing our environmental footprint, and creating an experience that is both cozy, sustainable, and full of West Jutland charm.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new old exhibition.

Aquariums in different and quirky designs
Unlike anything you've seen before
The aquariums in our branch in Hvide Sande are unlike anything you'll find in other Danish aquariums. Instead of building a backdrop in a regular rectangular or round aquarium tank, the aquariums themselves are the backdrop. Built in an old wheelhouse, in a fishing boat, a sailboat and other maritime objects, it creates the framework for a different and quirky exhibition.
