Museums and farmsteads

VikingerVIIPhoto: Maj-Lis Bogstrand Mogen/Kreativ KulturA historical farmstead is basically the same as an open air museum. The farmsteads show how people lived, both buildings and their interior are exhibited. Today there are three official historical faqrmsteads in Numedal. Most have regular opening hours during the summer, and it is usually possible to arrange tours outside opening hours. In addition to buildings and interior, other exhibits are held on the farmsteads. Moreover, the farmsteads have a variety of activities for the public.

We try to keep information on these pages updated with opening hours, exhibition details and other important information. But the farmsteads are administered locally, and our information may at times be outdated. If you find discrepancies, we'd like you to tell us. You can find our contact information in the footer on this website.
