An excellent museum wit a warm welcome
One of the largest and most comprehensive folk museums in Norway is located only a 10 minutes' walk from the town centre of Molde. The new building Krona opened in 2016, and houses historical footage displays, local art, Bunad workshop, café and museum shop. The Romsdal Museum was established in 1912, and portrays buildings and interesting interiors from the whole region. The town street "Bygata" shows typical Molde town houses from the pre-war era. The museum is situated in a nice park area with benches where you can relax, a duck pond and lush flower beds. There are several smaller museums in the region of Romsdal belonging to the Romsdal Museum: Bud coastal museum and fort, The Fisheries museum on Hjertøya, Nesset Prestegard (vicarage and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson's childhood home) in Eidsvåg, The Clothing Factory museum in Isfjorden, Løvikremma Kystgard (coastal farm) in Aukra, Steffågarden on the island of Ona, Veøya vicarage and maintenance of the medieval church on Veøya.

Very interesting
Not 100% sure how this place works. On randomly walking up to it from our hotel we stumbled upon a choir performance on a stage next to the museum, the choir where phenomenal so we sat and watched. Once finished I assumed the museum was closed as per what the website said however all seemed open so we walked around. Not sure if an event was happening or if it’s open and free all the tine. Either way the old houses and history are a site to behold.

A venture into the past
Found the village by chance and we were very pleased. Most buildings are originals re-sited from other regions in Norway. There is a 17th century church which is amazing. All staff on site are so knowledgeable they enhance the experience totally. Language is no barrier as their use of English was far superior to our extremely limited use of Norwegian. We spent a couple of hours but could have easily spent longer. Some authentic food is available, some at a small cost, but very tasty. Excellent value for money so thanks to all staff involved.
