Step into a time capsule where you can relive Norwegian everyday life all the way back to the 1500s, in peaceful surroundings on Bygdøy. 'Norsk Folkemuseum' is the world’s oldest open-air museum, featuring over 160 historic Norwegian buildings dating back to the 1500s. Walking through the “old town” path feels like a journey back in time. Experience old village streets and peek inside traditional log houses and craft shops. You can feel the weight of history with the Gol Stave Church from the 1200s, which was moved here over 100 years ago. The museum also offers indoor exhibits featuring traditional costumes, church art, Sami handicrafts and homes from Oslo in the 1800s and 1900s.
