The school moved to other premises in 1960 and two years later the building was taken over by Vestvågøy Museum, the oldest museum in Lofoten. Its administration was at Fygle until larger premises were available at Borg as part of Lofotr Viking Museum.

The original focus for the museum at Fygle was educational history from 1890 to 1960. This was achieved by recreating one of the classrooms on the ground floor. Here we can among other things see a long table that was moved around from home to home when the school was ambulating, a wooden double desk and a more recent formica covered desk. The other ground floor room is used for changing exhibitions. Upstairs, in what was the teacher's home, is a collection of beautiful antique furniture from the 1880s.

The old school site now also has a "rorbu" (fishermens' cabin) which was moved here from Ure. The "rorbu" which dates from 1834, has two sections and would have served four crews at a time. The interior is part original and part reconstruction. The entrance room ("budøra") was used for storing fishing nets and other tackle. In traditional manner the living quarters were made of logs and "budøra" was built as a simple timber frame. The outside walls have vertical cladding painted red and the roof is covered with birch bark and turf. The windows are relatively new, but close copies of the originals.
