The story

Lillesand Town- and Maritime Museum (Norwegian: Lillesand by- og sjøfartsmuseum) is a museum of the cultural history of Lillesand. The museum is located in the town of Lillesand in Lillesand Municipality in Agder county, Norway. The museum, established in 1970, was formerly a part of the AAKS (the Aust-Agder historical center), but starting in 2012 it was back under the control of Lillesand Municipality. Anne Sophie Hoegh-Omdal has been employed as the museum director since 1 May 2010. The museum includes The farm in the town which is often called Carl Knudsen-gården (Carl Knudsen's farm) after the last owner's father. The last owner was Thyra Mercedes Knudsen, who died childless in 1963. She let Lillesand Municipality have the right of first refusal to the buildings on the property and it was converted into a museum. A separate department of the museum is a customs museum in the old customs house, located in the harbor nearby.
