Heddal Open-Air Museum

The museum complex contains fifteen historic buildings that demonstrate the progression of Norwegian architecture from medieval times through the early twentieth century.

Management of the museum transferred to the Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum in 2010, while the Heddal and Notodden Museum Society retained ownership of structures.

The Rambergstugo building houses decorative rose paintings from 1784 by Olav Hanssen, representing traditional Norwegian artistic techniques and craftsmanship.

The museum welcomes visitors between June 15 and August 15, offering daily guided tours, weaving demonstrations, and interactive activities with farm animals.

Seven national costumes, including two century-old pieces, form part of a permanent exhibition highlighting Anne Bamle's influence on East Telemark traditional dress.
