Holmöns båtmuseum is in Byviken on Holmön. Its permanent exhibition covers centuries of coastal culture, with clinker-built wooden boats at its centre. In clinker construction, overlapping planks form the boat’s hull. The tradition can be traced to the Viking Age and has been on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage since 2021.
The exhibition also tells of work and family life in the outer archipelago: fishing, seal hunting and making a living with the help of small-scale farming. The museum says it is accessible to people with reduced mobility, with a wheelchair-adapted door to the right of the main entrance.
