The Open-Air Museum is divided into a Countryside area and an Old Town area, with buildings dating back to the 1200s, such as the famous Gol Stave Church. A visit can take anything from 30 minutes for a quick stop at the stave church to two hours or more for a full tour of the museum.

During the summer season, the museum comes alive with a wide variety of activities. Hosts in traditional costumes welcome visitors into their homesteads while livestock graze in the fields. There are folk dance performances and live music, handicrafs and artisans at work.

Winter is a beautiful and quiet time at Norsk Folkemuseum, with the old buildings often covered in layers of white snow.

During winter the buildings in the Open Air Museum are only accesible from the outside, but they often look their best at this rugged time of year.  Our indoor exhibitions are open year round and offer fascinating glimses into Norwegian cultural history. You can also visit our pleasant cafe with log fires and a tempting menu of freshly prepares hot and cold dishes.
