An unexpected pleasure
I’m not usually one for open air museums but I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Take the 45-minute guided tour (free with your entry ticket) as this really brought the place alive and our tour guide - the wonderful Sigrid - spoke so clearly and was more than happy to answer everyone’s questions. Sigrid’s explanation of how her father’s generation ends a party/gathering, letting everyone know it’s time to leave, by slapping the top of his legs, saying, ‘Nå…’ (like, ‘Now then…’, I guess) is something I’m going to adopt!

A "must see" highlight and experience in Norway
This is a fabulous combination of extensive outdoor exhibits including a stave church, numerous farm houses, folk arts, and the like in a lovely wooded island location. Numerous workers dressed in traditional clothing will explain various sites. There is a live traditional music and dance demonstration throughout the day. Don't miss tasting "lefse", freshly baked in the traditional manner. Farm animals and story times await children. There are also several indoor museums with folk art, church art, traditional dress, etc. There is a nice café on location. If you want to see everything - plan for at least 5 hours. Bus line 30 will bring you directly to the entrance from central Olso. You can also take a ferry from City Hall - but beware, the ferry ticket may not be included in the Ruter public transportation pass.
