The Remarkable Success Story of a Fisherman’s Family.
You won't find a more enchanting place to visit than the Bonk Museum, which offers the opportunity to explore the background of the vast Bonk Business Inc. industrial empire. So, open the door to the astonishing and wild world of Bonk. The museum exhibits include non-functional machinery, applications of cosmic therapy, disinformation systems, and localized black holes.
The Bonk Museum has carefully curated and restored Bonk devices and products from the mid-1800s to the 1950s.
Bonk is a whimsical fantasy product originating from the idea of visual artist Alvar Gullichsen. Oy Bonk AB is a fictional family company around which an entire history has developed, and which has produced all sorts of inventions. The Bonk family is known for, among other things, the “revitalizing anchovy-based condiment” and the “dynamo effect generated by the movements of giant anchovies.”
In the Children's Inventorium located in the outbuilding, the youngest family members can design and build their own Bonk machine.
