Romsdal Museum
Romsdalsmuseet
One of Norway's largest open-air folk museums, with more than 40 historic wooden buildings recreating rural life in the Romsdal region.
The Romsdal Museum was founded in 1912 on the hillside west of central Molde. The grounds include more than 40 traditional buildings relocated from around the region, including turf-roofed farmhouses, a church, a school and a mill, as well as a reconstructed street of old Molde shops. In summer, guides in traditional costume, folk dance and craft demonstrations take place, and from higher points in the grounds you can look out over the fjord. Tickets cost about 100 Norwegian kroner. The museum is open daily in summer, while only some areas open in the off-season, so check the times on the official website before you go.
Opening hours
Summer daily 11:00–17:00 (shorter in off-season)
