KaviarFactory is a must if you are visiting the Lofoten Islands, and the road to the town of Henningsvaer is utterly breathtaking. Venke greeted us warmly and explained the international photographic exhibition on display. There were some interesting pieces but the best thing was the view - and Venke's gift shop, which contained many irresistible items. So if you are looking for presents to take home, you'll definitely find them here. There's also a terrific cafe in the town.

Great use of a former industrial building in a beautiful remote sea village of Henningsvaer. The current exhibit features the work of 31 female artists from across the globe. Well worth a visit to Kavi and the village beyond

Using the old kaviar factory as an art gallery has turned out to be perfect. The old structures of the buildings are kept, but it also works very well as a gallery of modern art.

Interesting exhibitions of contemporary art in an old caviar factory, beautifully renovated - and with a stunning view! Henningsvaer itself is also worth a visit - pittoresque fishers village with vibrant history.

A refreshing modern art diversion from all the typical area seafaring art. Also some great views of the water form the upper gallery and a fun gift shop.

Enjoyable exhibition with artists from all around the world. Nice theme of "painting or not". Located in the former caviar factory.

This is really an exceptional place. Because of its unique art collection, the building itself and the landscape around. Top modern work!

This is an interesting small art exhibition in a fantastic building.
It had a few interesting pieces, exhibited on 2 floors. The entrance was 100 NOK per person. If you don't want to see the exhibition or pay the entrance fee, I would
still recommend stopping by and visiting the gift shop, it had some of the best and high quality gifts on Lofoten and in hindsight I regret not shopping more there.

The artists represented are more of-the-moment than one might first think. No wonder this space generates buzz. Provocative and important works. I stood and listened rapt as owner Wenche H explained some of the current pieces on view and their creators.

The same as the Museum in A. Closed without further notice. No time schedule at the door. No information
