The old curiosity shop!

It hides away behind Bryggen in the centre of town. Opening hours are flexible, i.e. do not reckon on it being open much before midday, and it is certainly closed by 5 pm. This shop is an absolute treasure trove for those who did not realise they had not mised what they had never had!

It is crammed full with an eclectic collection of items from goodness knows where. There are four rooms absolutely crammed full of stuff. This is the shop whose owner really does not know how to say 'No!' Do you need a stuffed boar's head to hang on the wall - there is one there with your name on it! There are plates, cups (none matching of course!), old photos, picture frames, brass kettles, warming pans, army boots, pewter mugs, books, fox furs, lamp fittings, spoons, boxes, turkish holiday mementos - you name it I bet you could find it there. But - is it anything you really need!?



I did once buy an old candlestick there. It is brass and vaguely art deco, I wish he had had two though!. As a second hand shop it is amazing, though for the life of me I cannot understand how the chap who runs it can remember where things are. A friend and I once asked him if he had any old glass inkwells as she collects them and he knew exactly what he had and where they were! Prices are negotiable, but this is Bergen - no bargains here!!
