The museum consists of a collection of more than 30 buildings, an open air museum with Norway’s oldest pagan wooden building from 1167, the famous Eidsborg stave church dated back to the 13th century and a new, modern museum building with several exhibitions.
There are many blockhouse constructions among the buildings at the museum, a building technique still in use.
The museum is situated by R45 next to Eidsborg stave church in the beautiful and dramatic landscape of Tokke.
