👍👍 I was little worried that I won’t enjoy the place since I learn about it from the Snapchat account call Bergen_now !! Because the museum is not in the city but I had a really good time there! First the area it’s so beautiful! And there was some farm animals and birds. The museum when we arrived... People often mention museum, area, boats,

    I was little worried that I won’t enjoy the place since I learn about it from the Snapchat account call Bergen_now !! Because the museum is not in the city but I had a really good time there! First the area it’s so beautiful! And there was some farm animals and birds. The museum when we arrived had an amazing guy who was teaching us how to make our own wood butter knife. And for the small kids there was how to make a wooden keychain. Then I went to see the boat section and it’s huge! And amazing we can touch them and read about each boat history. There was an area where about old Norwegian style and I saw a crown that for the ladies when they gets married. I learned a lot from this museum and its kids friendly. Also the coffee area super friendly people and good food.

    The Hord museum was built to preserve the history of the fish farm in central and northern Hordland. Here you will find old houses from various places, e.g. Fjellskül on Osterøy, set up in almost historically correct cluster gardens of various types. A schoolhouse from about 1870 in Seim in Lindüs municipality. A forge and a general store, in addition to various boathouses. The town also has rich finds from earlier times, including a burial mound and the remains of an Iron Age boathouse. As of today, the houses are not open, but you can take a walk in the area and see them from the outside. In the museum building, you will find a fantastic exhibition of boats, fishing equipment such as fishing boxes, handicrafts, wagons, traveling ships and agricultural machine miniatures. In addition to wonderful tapestries with motifs from Gerhard Munthe by Ragna Breivik. In the boat hall you will find a rich exhibition of boats, both reproductions of finds from the Iron Age, but also several boats of various kinds, including oselvar, Nordhordland boats, etc. I am qualified, because I have worked at the museum.

    Closed museum, but collection of old houses in idyllic outdoor areas shows examples of building customs from Hordaland. Remains of a boathouse from Roman times, stone circle, warrior graves and burial mounds. Stoller on Fanafjellet. Decent place to visit on your own even if the museum is closed. Parking at the swimming area.

    Great museum with excellent free guided tour. Use the skss transport app to get to the closest bus station, then google maps or similar to walk around 800m to the museum. You will go through an agricultural school keep going it is just beyond. Visit the 20 odd boats from all ages. The information is in many languages. There is a guided tour of the buildings from 18th and 19th centuries and the tour is done by the curator who loves his job. If you like the story of how people lived and to see the actual budings snd deco, this is a great place. All included in the Bergen card.

    Unfortunately, during the week you can only view the houses from the outside. Still very worth seeing.

    (Translated by Google) A great place for those interested in the folklore and life of ordinary people in the past - mainly associated with fishing, but not only. The second part of the museum (separate building) presents various types of boats, this part is opened by an employee on request. You can also watch a very interesting film here showing people traveling to Bergen for commercial purposes (unfortunately in Norwegian). Open-air museum - no tickets. Very nice place for walking. (Original) Super miejsce dla zainteresowanych folklorem i życiem zwyczajnych ludzi w przeszłości - głównie związanych z rybołówstwem, ale nie tylko. Druga część muzeum (osobny budynek) prezentuje różnego rodzaju łodzie, tę część otwiera pracownik na żądanie. Można obejrzeć tu też bardzo ciekawy film, pokazujący wyprawy ludzi do Bergen w celach handlowych (niestety po norwesku). Skansen otwarty - bez biletów. Bardzo fajne miejsce na spacery.
