Fascinating combination of the ancient and brand new

I was staying in central Stavanger but this fascinating venue was an easy bus ride away. The university has rebuilt some of the key buildings of an Iron Age farm in the exact positions of the originals, using (of course) the methods and materials of...More

The outdoor museum is worth a visit

The outdoor area with guiding is brilliant, the main building houses a cafe and some animated films about the history of the place. Was disappointed that there was little to do inside the building (it looks so nice on the outside) - but the cafe...More

Fascinating Display

Again, one needs a good explanation to understand the significance of this site. It is a great reconstruction of the Iron Age Farm with lots of visuals inside the “home.”

After hearing about the Farm by a girl dressed in Viking garb, we walked around the Farm and visited the Longhouses that are like a museum of the days of the Vikings. Great experience.More
