Brekkeparken, Museum park in Skien, Norway
Brekkeparken extends across 36,000 square meters on a hilltop above Skien center, featuring gardens, ponds, and walking paths throughout the grounds.
The park originated from the medieval Søndre Brekke farm, purchased by Niels Aall in 1810, who transformed it with a main building and wings.
The park contains numerous relocated farm buildings from different Telemark districts, forming an open-air museum that represents regional architectural traditions.
The park includes restroom facilities, picnic areas, a theater space, and multiple pavilions for visitors to use during their exploration of the grounds.
A bronze sculpture named 'Huldren og gutten' stands near the theater pathway, created by sculptor Sveinung Aanonsen and acquired by the museum in 1921.
