About this audio guide
This guide to Akvariet, the National Aquarium in Bergen, is about the man who fitted out its rooms before it opened in nineteen sixty: Gunnar Rollefsen, a fisheries scientist who ran the Institute of Marine Research next door. It reaches back to the nineteen thirties and the stubborn problem that made his name among fish breeders. It also follows the fjord water that pours through the building every day. Best heard standing at one of the indoor tanks.
