Romsdal Museum, Regional heritage museum in Molde, Norway
Description
Romsdal Museum comprises over 40 historical buildings from the 16th through 20th centuries, spread across the grounds to show how people in this region built and lived. The modern main building, Krona, holds craftspeople's workshops, exhibitions, and spaces for visitors to rest and explore.
History
Founded in 1912 and opened to the public in 1928, this museum collected buildings to document life in the Romsdal region across different eras. The structures were preserved to show how craftsmanship and daily routines evolved in this mountainous landscape.
Culture
The buildings at this site come from different centuries and show how people in the region lived and worked across generations. Walking through them, you see the choices they made in construction, the way rooms were organized, and how daily life unfolded in a rural mountain community.
Practical
The site is open year-round and the main building with cafes and services remains accessible at all times. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk between many buildings and the grounds are natural and uneven.

A reconstructed street shows what Molde looked like before the great fire of 1916, with buildings that stood at that time. This recreation lets visitors see how the city appeared before it was rebuilt from that loss.
