About This Museum

Tucked away in the tranquil countryside of Aurskog-Høland, the Setskog Landhandelmuseum is a true hidden gem. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping directly into a perfectly preserved village shop from a bygone era. The air still carries the faint, familiar scent of old wood and dry goods, and you half-expect the shopkeeper to appear from the back room. It’s an incredibly intimate and personal glimpse into daily life as it once was.

Collection Highlights

The main attraction is the original shop itself, with its floor-to-ceiling shelves still stocked with authentic tins, glass jars, and packages from decades past. You'll also find a fascinating assortment of period advertisements and a classic manual cash register sitting proudly on the counter.

Visitor Information

Given its small, volunteer-run nature, it's absolutely essential to check their local listings or contact them in advance to confirm opening hours before you make the trip.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a charming, unassuming wooden building that looks every bit the classic Norwegian country store, painted in a simple and traditional style.
