About

Through exhibits, an open-air museum and a traditional farm with live animals, Sogn Folkemuseum shows us how life has been lived along the Sognefjord.
The Heiberg Collections - Sogn Folk Museum at Kaupanger shows how people lived from the Middle Ages up to our own time. The open-air museum, with more than 30 buildings, ranges from medieval buildings to modern industrially produced houses from the end of the 1980s. There is also a traditional farm with live animals.

One of the oldest and largest folk museums in Norway, with comprehensive exhibitions. Guided tours and activities every day in the main season. Cafeteria with homemade local food and a souvenir shop.
