There are three exhibitions in this museum that I liked. The section about uniforms worn in the past by people from the region for the different organizations ie police, army, navy etc. The maritime museum and the area that recreates the living quarters from the past up until Viking farms. The impressive thing about the Viking farm buildings is that people actually lived in them until recently. Amazing sturdy structures

Great museum, though we didn't have much time to spend here, it was interesting and we got a guided tour included in the price
The museum is an open air museum where you can visit old houses from the Kristiansand area and the Setesdal valley. Some of the houses are open so you can go inside and get a glimpse into how people lived some hundred years ago. The museum also displays a part of Kristiansand center as mini houses so you can see an entire part of town. It is interesting to go visit afterwards. A few of the old houses are still there but not many. There is a small cost cafe in the museum set up as an old cafe with staff wearing costumes. The coffee was not good but the waffles were excellent. We asked about the exhibition and the waiters went a long way to help is answer the questions. Very friendly.
Very interesting. Lisa was our guide. She shared stories and explained about every day life for early settlers. Loved stories about traditional dress and culture from the family saunas, hand carved ironing press engagement gift, to stuffing the calves of socks to attract a husband. Overcast in the morning, but then rain set in at the end of our visit so we hustled to gift shop. Sorry we didn't have more time.
Nice museum, there was a cool exhibition where you could \sense\ the 17h century, feel the fabrics, smell the spices etc. There were English translation available laying around, but this was a bit tricky to fins at first (we only saw them when we walked out). Fun things to see, however you probably don't really more than 2hours to look at everything.
Very basic and over priced. You cannot compare this to Mai Haugen at all. Mai haugen is even cheaper.
Overall a good museum. I liked how we could go into the buildings. The museum was not very exciting.
Very intersting!! Perfect gyde
