This maritime museum has three permanent exhibitions:

The Telavåg Tragedy - this shows how and why the local community Telavåg has a unique standing in the history of the occupation of Norway. No other place in Norway was subjugated by German terror to such a degree. The whole village was destroyed, and all the inhabitants forced to leave. Most of the men were sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp in Germany. Many never saw Telavåg again. A film about the tragedy is shown every half hour.

The North Sea Traffic 1940-45 - the tragedy of Telavåg was connected to the North Sea Traffic. A few people had crossed the North Sea to Great Britain, mostly to Shetland, already by the summer of 1940. This developed eventually into organised traffic on both British and Norwegian sides. Refugees left in boats from the west coast of Norway and agents on special missions returned from Shetland. The exhibition shows various aspects of this traffic.

Leif A Larsen ('The Larsen') - 'The Larsen' took part in the North Sea Traffic. The exhibition tells about his experiences during the Second World War and his civil life.
