Volda
In this museum you will learn the history of Sivert Aarflot, a farmer's son who attended 22 days of school, then to become one of the foremost public informants on the north west coast of Norway.
Sivert Aarflot's thirst for knowledge was wide, from practical farming to theoretical astronomy. And this knowledge he would share and convey.
He worked as a teacher and policeman, and he founded a library, a publisher and the newspaper "Norsk Landboeblad". This newspaper is still published in Volda, now under the name "Møre".
In the Sivert Aarflot museum at Ekset in Volda, where he lived and run a printing company, you will be told the story of this innovative public informant.
