This year marks the fifth anniversary of the formal establishment of the National Villa Center (NVL). NVL wants to combine the anniversary with an official opening of finished exhibitions in Lærdal, September 18.
The day will be divided into two parts:
First we have a program with cultural events and an official opening ceremony - this part of the day is open to everyone.
Then we have a seminar in the culture hall - if you want to participate here, you must sign up by clicking on "Registration for seminar", at the bottom of this page.
We have capacity for up to 150 participants. The session is free of charge.
At the seminar, we want to highlight the status of wild salmon in Norway, the status and challenges specific to Western Norway, the status of the national salmon rivers and fjords, the work of the National Wild Salmon Center so far and future plans.
