Aurskog-Høland Bygdetun
About This Museum
Tucked away on the outskirts of Hemnes, this place feels like stepping right into a storybook version of old Norway. You can wander through a cluster of charming wooden buildings, including a schoolhouse and a farmstead, all set against that classic, peaceful Norwegian countryside. It’s not a stuffy museum at all; it feels more like the past is still breathing here, especially when you peek inside the homes and see everyday life from another era laid out so naturally. I spent a good while just imagining what life was like for the families who lived and worked on this very land.
Collection Highlights
The old general store is an absolute gem, stocked with authentic goods that make you feel like you could step up and buy something. Don't miss the main farmhouse either, filled with beautiful traditional furniture and textiles that show off incredible local craftsmanship.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find on Tønnebergveien, but definitely check their opening hours online before you go as they can be seasonal. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed afternoon if you're exploring the Aurskog-Høland area.
Architecture & Building
The buildings are classic Norwegian log constructions, painted in those familiar deep reds, whites, and yellows, looking just like a traditional 'bygdetun' or open-air museum should.
