Practical informastion
Disabled Access
Most of the Open Air Museum have relatively level and broad gravel paths providing easy access. However, many of the old buildings are difficult to access due to steps and thresholds. There is a steep hill up to the Stave church, which is not really wheelchair friendly.
There is good disabled access at:
- The visitor center with cafe, shop and toilets.
- The buildings around the Square with exhibitions and toilets.
- Trøndelag farmstead with main house and barn.
- Broad gravel paths through the Open Air Museum.
Where to eat?
Kafé Arkadia is situated by the main entrance in our visitors center and can be accessed with or without an entrance ticket. You can buy open-faced sandwiches, cakes, wraps, hot and cold beverages and some hot food.
During high season you can visit Piperviken cafe located at the Festival Grounds.
The picturesque Open Air Museum is ideal for an outdoor picnic or just to sit and have a rest. You are welcome to bring your own food. Picnic tables are available at the Festival Grounds.

Dogs are welcome at the museum - outdoors, as long as they are kept on a lead. Dogs are not allowed in the buildings or exhibitions.
