Valdres Folkemuseum
On a beautiful peninsula jutting out into the Strondefjord, the open-air Valdres Folkemuseum covers 30 acres and includes more than 100 historic structures, many of them dating back centuries. One of the most interesting is a wooden warehouse that was originally built in the 1300s. Medieval ornaments decorate the doorposts. Inside a striking modern building, the permanent exhibition takes a fascinating look at bunader, Norwegian traditional costumes. Kids will also love the displays of folk instruments and vintage toys. It's a good idea to book the guided tours in July and August well in advance.
