Every exhibit is described in both Norwegian and English both here and at all the other Oslo museums we visited. The explanations of what you are seeing and their social contexts are all excellent.

The museum is more like a park with real houses and buildings and each one has a description in different languages including English. There won't be any problem in understanding. Also as I remember you receive at the entrance a map with all sites to visit. I hope this answer helps you.

Yes, I was there 2 weeks ago and everything written in Norwegian had a translation to English next to it.

Also there were live demonstrations of how people used to live in those periods of time and how they used to cook. The actors/demonstrators also speak in English and explain as must as possible what they are doing :)

As well as descriptions being in English there are people in costume in some of the buildings to answer your questions. They also speak excellent English.
