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.

We caught the bus from central Oslo, easy. We arrived slightly early for opening, so felt a morning coffee by the fire in the café would help. It did! After walking around half the huge site, admiring the wonderful wooden buildings, we were suitably frozen, so we felt that a visit to the café for some delicious beef soup would help. It did! Venturing out into the freezing air again, we toured the remainder of the buildings before realising we were a bit chilly again. So we felt a visit to the café for some hot chocolate with whipped cream might help. It did!

After being indoors visiting the Fram and Viking museum, it was refreshing to visit this one and walk about outside. My 9 year old enjoyed stepping through the decades in various buildings

We arrived at the museum and were surprised by the charm of this fantastic place! Yes, the folk costumes and artifacts are interesting but it was the outdoor museum of old homes that captured our imagination. We loved walking through time especially when we could buy little lollies from what felt like the 1950s! This is a MUST when visiting Oslo if you are history enthusiasts like us.

My mother and I really enjoyed the exhibit hall and viewing the Stave Church. The exhibits we saw discussed the progression of folk art, the beginnings of wood carving and rosemaling, and the resurgence of Norwegian knitting. My mother was trouble getting around, so we limited ourselves to just viewing the Stave Church. You can actually go inside, which was a wonderful surprise! Because of mom’s mobility my only criticism of the facility is a lack of accessibility for those who can’t do stairs or steep hills. She said it was worth the struggle though!
