The majority of the museum is a huge open air landscape, including hillside pathways, but first of all you come across old houses and streets from the 19th & 20th century. These are interesting but very similar to other Western/Northern European cities from that time.
The really interesting parts of the museum are when you wonder around the back and discover dozens and dozens of the old wooden houses, many with green roofs, along with examples of farmland buildings. There is also a magnificent church, The Stave Church, at the top of a slight hillside walk. A beautiful old building, partly built in the Middle Ages.
You can spend a good 2/3 hours here, especially if the weather is good. It's also free entrance if you have an Oslo Pass.
