The café is open to everyone and is located in the arrivals facility. You are welcome in for a lovely break from your museum visit. Here you can find both hot and cold food, refreshments and cakes. Try our homemade bread with locally produced cheese, salmon or lamb sausage. Or maybe homemade cakes with blueberries or cranberries more tempting.
