The Original Penny Loafer
An Économusée is not a museum in the usual sense, but a living workshop, offering a real tourist attraction alongside the manufacture and sale of traditional products. We will show you our craft traditions and their historical context, as well as offer you the chance to purchase our products.
Taking home a locally produced and authentic souvenir is a great way of remembering your dream holiday in Aurland Flam. The UNESCO heritage area offers a lot of locally produced handicraft, including a wide range of products: the Original Penny Loafer, locally produced goat cheese and cured meat, award-winning beer, glass and ceramics, authentic clothing and Viking craft, to name but a few. Take your time and look for a gem that suits you.
