Follo Museum
About This Museum
The Follo Museum isn't a single building but a charming open-air museum, a collection of historic wooden houses and farmsteads saved from the surrounding Follo region and carefully rebuilt here. You can wander freely between the old schoolhouse, the cozy tenant farm, and the grand main house known as Bærumsgården. It feels less like a formal museum and more like stepping directly into a quiet, rural Norwegian past. The atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful, inviting you to explore at your own pace and imagine the lives once lived within these walls.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the main 'Bærumsgården' farmhouse, furnished to show life for both the wealthy family and their servants. The old schoolhouse is another gem, complete with tiny desks and a sense of disciplined simplicity. Throughout the grounds, you'll find traditional tools and agricultural equipment that tell the story of local farming.
Visitor Information
It's located just outside Drøbak, easy to reach by car with plenty of parking. While you can explore the outdoor grounds year-round, the buildings themselves are typically only open during the summer season or for pre-booked guided tours, so it's best to check their website before you go.
Architecture & Building
The museum showcases classic Norwegian timber architecture, featuring log-built houses painted in deep reds, yellows, and whites, all with distinctive white-framed windows.
