The largest museum of cultural history in Norway, the Norwegian Folk Museum is an open-air museum with 155 buildings that are authentically replicated from various national region and eras. For example, the Gol Stave Church is a 13th century structure. Visitors staying in hotels in Oslo must make the trip to this treasure trove of history, full of activities. Take a guided tour and ride in a horse and buggy. The Bygdǿ Royal Farm offers cultivated fields and grazing lands full of walking paths that are now part of the museum.
Folk dancing and music, period costume, and demonstration of arts and crafts are all part of the Norsk Folkemuseum, or Norwegian Folk Museum, are all also part of the experience, as is the baking of lefse. Indoor exhibits at this location in Oslo, Norway, include folk art and dress, typical living environments, and temporary themed exhibits. Visit during the Christmas Fair for special exhibits and treats, or come during the Artisans in the Old Town, where pottery, weavers, silversmith, and candle factories are open. Make a day trip of it and visit the nearby Kon-Tiki Museum, Oslo City Hall, and the Munch Museum.
