Shoddyhuset is idyllically situated in Vestfossen in connection with the Fredfoss Kulturpark. The word comes from the Englishword shoddy, meaning old rags. The house was used to collect old textiles, and convert them to blankets. The first floor is used by Haugiani glass since 2000, operated by Magnus and Maria Hesslid. In the second and third floor is Galleri Mollabekken, which is operated by Ingjerd and William Holmes. Since its opening, the gallery has had a number of exhibitions of high quality, which has been very well received.

Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium is a centre for contemporary art in the old Vestfos Cellulosefabrik (1886–1970). Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium was established by artist Morten Viskum and opened its doors to the public in 2003. Today the institution is run as a foundation with financial support from Øvre Eiker Municipality, Buskerud County Council and the Ministry of Culture. At present we have an annual summer programme from May to September. In the near future, however, we hope to expand our activity and have exhibitions all year round. During the years artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauchenberg, Donald Judd, Anaslem Kiefer, Claus Oldenburg, Cindy Sherman and Andress Serrano have shown their work at Vestfossen Kunstlabratorium.
