At Sunnfjord Museum you can learn about traditional life in the inner Sunnfjord villages. We have over 30 historical buildings, carefully arranged to represent a traditional bipartitioned farmstead, a cotter homestead and a støl, shieling/ seasonal summer farm. In addition we have an old schoolhouse and other buildings. Our collection of historical objects is diverse, spanning hundreds of years. There is also an extensive collection of photographs.
Things to do and experience
We are open year-round and offer events and activities through both summer and winter. During summer, many of our historical buildings are open to the public, and we offer individual and customised tours for visitors in both English and Norwegian. We also have several themed walking trails that start from the museum area.
Alternating exhibitions and gift shop
Throughout the year we offer alternating exhibitions. Some produced locally and others visiting from elsewhere. Our main building has a gift shop with a selection of cultural history books, gifts, traditional toys and handicraft. We also sell coffee, ice cream and snacks. The gift shop follows museum opening hours.
