The current exhibitions are highlighting the human connection to the sea in different ways. One of the most remarkable exhibitions right now is about refugee across the sea that can be found on the second floor. From the early times of Swedish emigration to the United States through the Holocaust of the IIWW and l the Vietnam War  to today’s migration routes and reasons. It is a very complex and interesting exhibition with lot of antique objects  and multimedia information with TV programs and interviews with survivors, coast guards and refugees. There is also a new upcoming exhibition in the line of exhibitions about the sea starting 3/3-18 Haenyeo women of the sea.
