Sunnfjord Museum

Along the paths between turf roofs, hayracks and a small mill stream, you can get an insight into everyday life in the time of our great-great-great-grandparents. The open-air museum showcases the cultural heritage and daily life of the inner Sunnfjord villages, with more than 30 historical buildings. Here you can explore traditional farms, homesteads and a sheiling. We also have beautiful hiking trails leading out from the museum grounds.

Indoors, you can experience different exhibitions throughout the year, including both self-produced and travelling exhibitions.
