Norsk Folkemuseum (Oslo)

Established in 1894, Norsk Folkemuseum is devoted largely to Norwegian rural life, and visitors should set aside half a day to view the many (over 150) restored buildings. These include various dwellings, barns, storehouses, and a splendid stave church (c.1200) with typical steep, shingle covered roofs and dramatic dragon finials.

The indoor collections consist of displays of folk art, toys, folk dress, the playwright Ibsen's study, and a pharmacy museum. On Sundays in the summer there are displays of folk dancing, and guides demonstrate skills such as weaving tapestries or baking traditional flatbread.

Open Tuesday to Sunday
