Source

The Voss Folkemuseum is a district museum situated near Vossevangen in the Voss municipality of Vestland. The museum was established in 1917 with the primary aim of preserving the old courtyard of the Mølster farm. It was opened to the public as an open-air museum in 1928, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the historical and cultural heritage of the region.

Preserved Buildings at the Voss Folkemuseum

The courtyard of the Voss Folkemuseum currently houses 16 buildings, with eight buildings attributed to each of the two historical uses. These buildings have been preserved in their original state, providing a snapshot of life as it was when the last family vacated the premises in 1927.
