This is a interesting museum. You walk around to all these buildings from different periods of time in Norway seeing how people lived. Really enjoyed this . The main church is a very beautiful structure. Very nice cafe on site also that serves food

Not to be missed. Charming village of 200 structures, including a stave church. Make sure you interact with the guides in each building. One of our guides told stories about each family member inhabiting their house, very detailed and well-researched. Fun fun fun way to learn about fabulous Norway and its people.

I loved visiting this open-air museum! Its various wooden buildings take us back in time to understand the history of Norway and its people. I also learned a lot about Sami, which was very interesting. Definitely worth it :)


Very good display of wooden buildings and different decades of Norwegian life. The day we visited lots of black ice after recent snow not many displays during winter
But still plenty to see shame no animals in the fields. Overall enjoyed walking through the different buildings and looking into the rooms a time capsule of yesteryear.

This huge, open-air, and if I shall call it "hands-on", museum takes you in a tour through Norway's cultural history. You will be able to visit different buildings and houses, from rural to urban, designed based on real houses and stories. You'll read the stories of people, see their pictures, touch their objects and furniture, and learn how they used to live.
PS: Don't be scared of real people wearing traditional clothes and sitting like dolls in old houses!





‘Ello chaps! The Norwegian Folk Museum is one of the main attractions among Oslo’s tourists, putting on display Norway’s culture and history. You can see that history through various museum style displays, but also through a large open-air museum, with more than 150 buildings. This is one of Oslo’s more favored museums with lots to see and do. Plus, a cute coffee shop and gift shop. It’s very accessible by public bus from downtown Oslo and is also a short walk from the Viking Ship Museum. I give Norwegian Folk Museum Four Stars out of Five.
