When you are near one of those Stave Churches, don't miss it because there's only very few left in the world! Norway has 28 remaining.
There is a Gol stave church at the top of the hill at the edge of this 35 acre park which has 150 reassembled historic buildings. This church is a must see and was built in 1212 in Hallingdal, one of the few remaining stave churches in the world. Stave churches have a different feel inside, with the thick sturdy dark wood and also shows the intermingling of Christianity and the Viking ideology. Sometimes, you will see some folkdancing in front of the church which is guarded by native Oslo-ans garbed in national costumes. At the time I visited, some schoolchildren were practicing dance and I have included a video here on VT.

 "Stavkirke" in the museum by Maria_75
The museum has a great collection of norwegian houses from different periods, and from all over the country. You can see how people lived, and how this changed from place to place - and how it has changed over the years. There are also other kinds of exhibitions like norwegian folk costumes, folk art, sami culture and toys. Plus exhibitions that change according to seasons, holidays or special events.
From 15/9 - 14/5 the museum is open from 11-15 on weekdays, and 11-16 in weekends. In the summer, from 15/5 - 14/9, the museum is open 10 - 18 every day.
The ticket costs 55,- NOK in winter and 75,- NOK in summer. For children it's 20,- NOK all the year, but children under 6 years are free. A familyticket is 150,- NOK.

This open air museum depicts the urban and rural life in Norway in the Middle ages. Here, you can see medieval houses and staff in full mediecal attires showing how life was a long long time ago.
During our visit, a very pleasant smoke coming out of a chimney of one of the medieval houses attracted most of the visiting tourists. There were three maidens showing people how to make LEFSE (Norwegian pancakes made of potatoes and flour). In the end of the demonstration, we were able to taste this delicious pastry for NOK20. It was all worth it. So, if you are visiting this museum, please don't forget to visit the village's bakery.
In this museum, kids are given extra attention. There is a museum of toys nearby the entrance, and a kiddie pancake house where kids can have pancakes free!
This museum is both for the young and old.
At the end of our visit, we took a coffee and delicious strawberry pie at their tearoom.

One of the musuems we went to was the National Folk musuem. Its an outdoor museum with 150 buildings ranging from farms to a candystore and other buildings from all Norways regions.
At the start of the park is a building with changing displays. I saw an exhbition about the Sami people, clothes, their story, tools and other various objects and an exhibtion about folk painting. The way the painted decorations of cabinets and chairs and chests has changed over the centuries and where its origins lie.
During summer there all kinds of activitieslike dancing and actors. Not now though.
It is a very big park where you can easily spend half a day look to and in all the buildings.

The Open-Air Museum features 155 authentic buildings from different national regions, i.e. Gol Stave Church, from the 13th century.
During summer, a variety of activities take place in the Open-Air Museum:
Guided tours, folk music and dancing, demonstration of traditional arts and crafts, baking of "lefse", horse-and-buggy rides and "Norwegian Evening."
In 2004, Bygdø Royal Farm merged with the museum. The farmyard as well as the cultivated fields and grazing lands are now part of the museum grounds. Enjoy a hike on the walking paths through this scenic and historic landscape!

Norsk Folkemuseum is one of Europe's largest open air museums with more than 150 traditional buildings from all over Norway. During Summer season there are domestic animals living at the site to complete the picture of ancient rustic life. Lots of events take place in Summer, too: folk dancing and music, traditional arts, guided tours, etc. There also are indoor exhibits about Norwegian folk art and dresses, antique toys and Sami culture.
My personal high light and main reason to visit the museum is the Gol stave church! This beautiful early 13th century sacred building is almost completely made of wood! An extremely impressive work of art!
Free entry with Oslo Pass, special events for children, open all year Address: Museumsveien 10, 0287 OsloPhone: (+47) 22 12 37 00Directions: Bygdöy, OsloWebsite: www.norskfolkemuseum.no Other Contact: post@norskfolkemuseum.no
