Great experience with a LOT to see.Reserve a lot of time if you go there, since it will take time to walk through all of the different buildings. Note: worth trying to access buildings that might look like closed, since most of them were anyhow open. One could see old shops etc. worth visiting but maybe nit during winter

We took the public bus to the island and toured round a number of museums on the same day. This one was the first one and we were literally blown away by the size of it. Fascinating to walk inside the exhibition and also the outside open museum and beautiful church! This is surprisingly good and I would recommend it! Families would love it too.

This lovely open-air museum will guide you how people used to live in Norway in the past. There are several farms and buildings divided between countryside and Oslo with its suburbs. One of the highlight is Stave church. To visit this museum is a must for everyone visiting Oslo.

Whatever expectations I had for the Folke Museum were blown away by the sights seen. There is an indoors museum, with plenty to look at, but we spent the majority of our time outside, exploring the recreated villages from as early as the 16th century. Absolutely loved the Stave Church and its atmosphere. There is a section for the 1900s (particularly the 30s-50s), which we enjoyed also. It is a great visual contrast against the Stave Church and its gothic surroundings.

Very interesting outdoor museum, although became slightly repetitive after a while. We didn’t think it was very well layer out, felt a bit like a maze at times. Worth visiting just don’t have super high hopes.

We only had 90 minutes to look around this museum and it was not enough! All ages in the group found the exhibitions interesting and loved looking around. The church looks like something out of a fairytale. We all learned a lot about Norwegian life and history from this museum.

I expected to like this museum a lot but I have to say I was disappointed.I am thinking that May is still the off-season because I didn’t really see any actors and I didn’t find the signage that clear. We saw two people that maybe were actors but they didn’t engage with us at all so I thought maybe they were just keeping an eye on things. We went to several of the locations that supposedly were hosting events but nothing was going on. The brochure they gave us provided a map and a little bit of information about what should be going on but it didn’t seem to match the reality. I did enjoy seeing the church and a few of the other buildings but other than that there wasn’t much going on.

Great sense of the history of Norway through its buildings. Wish more were open fir entry, but the open ones were great. We didn’t see any life re-enactment we nuts, but we enjoyed wandering through time with the various exhibits. Nice to be outdoors also.

We spent about two hours at the museum; highly recommend you take one of the guided tours. Takes about an hour and explains many of the houses villages and buildings. E advised you will. E walking on unpaved paths that are hilly. Getting into and out of buildings requires caution and stooping over,

I was a reluctant visitor to this museum but was proven wrong. It is well worth a visit, particularly the Stave Church. The exhibitions are also good. My only disappointment was that the exhibition of Norwegian church art of the Reformation was locked.
