How to get to us
Address: Museumsveien 10, 0287 Oslo. We are located at the Bygdøy peninsula, approximately 4 km from central Oslo.
Bus: Take bus "30 Bygdøy" from central Oslo. Handy stops in town include Central Station or National Theatre. The bus stops right outside the museum, and our stop is called "Folkemuseet". The route runs approximately every 10 minutes, and the ride takes about 10 - 15 minutes. (Check schedules and where to buy tickets at ruter.no)

Information for your visit
Where to eat?
- Kafé Arkadia is situated by the main entrance 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 the Waffle House with an extensive and popular waffle menu. Located at the Festival Grounds kids can also try their hands at various tasks here; carrying water buckets through an obstacle course or building a tower with logs, for example.
- Torgkafeen is located in the middle of the museum between the countryside area and the Old Town. Have a relaxing break here with a cold drink, an ice cream or a Norwegain hot dog wrapped in "lompe" - a flat potato bread much loved locally.
- The picturesque Open Air Museum is ideal for an outdoor picnic or just a sit and a rest. You are welcome to bring your own food. Picnic tables are available at the Festival Grounds.
Dogs
Dogs are welcome to the museum - outdoors, as long as they are kept on a lead. They are not allowed in buildings and exhibitions.
Toilets
Toilet fascilities are at the Visitor Centre, in the Main Square and at the Festival Grounds.
Smoking
Smoking is allowed in the Main Square only. Due to fire risk and our unique collection of wooden buildings, smoking is prohibited in the rest of the museum.
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.
The Visitor Center, the majority of the Open Air Museum area, the cafés, the Main Exhibitions and the Trøndelag Farmstead have wheelchair access.
Toilet fascilities for all at the Visitor Centre, the Main Square and at the Festival Grounds
