This page gives you some information on Oslo and the Norwegian Folk Museum is a great and perfect representation of Norway. Perhaps one of the best aspects of this museum is the open-air display, which includes wooden barns, stables, storehouses and dwellings from the 17th - 19th century. In fact, one of the most famous aspects of this museum is the 800-year-old Stave Church from Gol.

Getting to the museum is quite easy. If you wish, the bus no. 30 to Bygdøy leaves every fifteen mins from "Jernbanetorget" (by Oslo Central train) and from the National Theatre, and it goes to the to the bus stop by the Folk Museum.

There is a ferry from Rådhuskaia to Dronningen during the summer months and then you'll have a ten mins. stroll to this Oslo museum. At Norsk Folkemuseum - the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History you'll have a most interesting time.

Norway background and culture is displayed with one hundred and fifty traditional houses and buildings and numerous exhibitions from all major regions of the country.
