Modern dwelling

The house "Stella" represent our own time. The idea is to preserve a typical home of the late 20th. century for generations to come.
Normal practice at museums is to collect whole houses, furniture and other implements after they have gone out of use or become antiques. Here, a different approach has been chosen.
The museum have found an actual home in Sogn, which has been cataloged in every detail. The exhibit consist of similar objects, but most are bought new from local shops.

Friluftsmuseet ligg i eit flott naturområde, med slåttemarker, åkrar og beiteområde. Her er gangevegar og stiar, leikeplassar og naturløyper, som gjer det til eit attraktivt turområde både for store og små. Men først og fremst inneheld friluftsmuseet mest 40 antikvariske bygningar frå mellomalderen og heilt fram til vår eiga tid.
