Vest-Agder Museum Mandal and Vigeland Hus
The museum is situated in Andorsengården, which was the town's most prominent trading establishment. The property was built in the years 1801 to 1805. Mandal has often been described as ”the small town with the great artists”. This is reflected in the museum where one can find works by, among others, Adolph Tidemand, Amaldus Nielsen and Gustav Vigeland. The museums maritime section boasts a collection of artefacts and paintings and the fishing section gives a good insight into the fishing equipment that was used.

Vest-Agder Museum Sjølingstad Uldvarefabrik
Sjølingstad Woollen Mill was established in 1894 and produced yarn and fabrics sold in great parts of southern Norway until 1984. In 1986 the idea of reopening the mill as a „working textile museum“ were launched. Government funds made it possible to purchase a majority of the shares, restore machines and buildings; and maintain the old industrial craftmanship. The spirit of days gone by still linger in these buildings where yarn, fabrics and blankets are produced on the old machinery, driven by our water power station with a turbine from 1913
A visit to Sjølingstad Woollen Mill Museum during the summer season gives you the possibility to get a guided tour around the factory. You learn the history of the mill, and follow the production line from raw wool to finished fabrics. Children can participate in our wool workshop making woollen pictures and learning a variety of woollen techniques. In our museum shop we have carded wool, knitting yarn, lanoline yarn and blankets for sale. The shop is open throughout the year (Monday-Friday)
