Vorupør Museum
Vorupør Museum is housed in an old boatyard which used to build boats for the fishermen of the fishing village. The boatyard was originally run by Jens Kr. Andersen, who in 1919 developed a boat type which has since been used for coastal fishing. In his old age, the boat builder began to write a book; Gudelige Fortællinger. He wrote a total of five books about life in the area, including Strandvagten and Der går Bråd over Revlerne.
The museum has kept much of the old machinery, and visitors get an interesting insight into coastal fishing from the tools and machinery as well as from the fishermen's tackle. The kitchen's old wood-burning stove is sometimes used to prepare samples of local food. The museum also tells the historical background of the Vorupør fishing village and about the harsh living conditions of the coastal population with its drudgery and very religious lifestyle.
