Glomdalsmuseet, also known as the Glomdal Museum, is an open-air museum in Mo i Rana, in the county of Nordland in northern Norway. It is located at Museumsveien 1, 8613 Mo i Rana.
What you will see
The museum gathers traditional wooden buildings and cultural artifacts from the Glomdal valley region. Its focus is rural life, and it presents the everyday world and the traditional crafts of the 18th and 19th centuries. Walking between the old buildings, you get a sense of how people in this valley lived and worked in earlier times.
Who it suits
- Visitors interested in local history and rural life in northern Norway
- Those who enjoy traditional wooden architecture and handicrafts
- Families and travellers looking for a relaxed visit that combines time outdoors with a look at the past
Because it is an open-air museum, a visit is largely spent outside among the buildings, so it is worth dressing for the weather of the region.
