Old Bergen

The museum contains 55 wooden buildings relocated from Bergen's center, forming a collection of houses and workplaces from different social classes.

The museum opened in 1949 around Elsesro summer house, which shipbuilder Rasmus Rolfsen constructed for his wife Elsebe during the late 18th century.

Actors in period costumes walk through cobblestone streets, demonstrating daily activities and sharing stories about life in 18th and 19th century Bergen.

The museum operates from May through September between 9:00 and 16:00, with special exhibitions, guided tours, and a kiosk selling traditional treats.

The museum preserves structures from the period when Bergen held the title of Europe's largest wooden city, with buildings densely arranged along narrow streets.
