Ytste Skotet
About This Museum
Tucked away in Stordal, Ytste Skotet isn't your typical museum; it's a living, breathing farmstead that feels frozen in time. What makes it special is the sheer authenticity—you can almost hear the echoes of daily life from generations past. It’s a place that tells the story of the land and the people who worked it, not through plaques, but through the very walls and worn wooden floors.
Collection Highlights
You'll find well-used tools still resting on their hooks and the household's simple, sturdy furniture arranged just as it was left. Look for the distinctive rose paintings adorning cupboards and trunks, a beautiful local folk art tradition. The heart of it all is the old stone hearth in the main house, blackened by decades of use.
Visitor Information
Come with sturdy shoes for wandering the grounds and a curiosity for how things used to be. It's a quiet spot, perfect for soaking in the atmosphere and imagining the stories held within these old timber walls.
Architecture & Building
The main building is a classic Norwegian 'tun' farmhouse, built from heavy timber with a sod roof that seems to grow right out of the hillside.
