Norsk Folkemuseum

After visiting the Viking Ship museum, we headed down the street to the Norsk Folkemuseum.  The museum reminded us of Greenfield Village in Michigan.  

Our guidebook highlighted the Stave Church.  I wish I had read ahead in the guidebook.  We would have skipped all of the other stave churches we went into and just visited this one.  This one was spectacular.  The details within the Church were exquisite.  It was also one of the few that was "more original" than some of the other ones we saw.  The roof was so spectacular on this church.  This church is the highlight of the collection at the museum.

The inside was beautiful, too.  The paining was beautiful and ornate.  


It was the most beautiful church we saw on the trip.  All of the other churches paled in comparison.  

The other buildings in this part of the museum were beautiful as well.  It does not hurt that the dark wood looks beautiful with the blue sky and green grass.

We spent the bulk of the time in the museum actually watching folk dancers.  They had live music and we watched a handful of traditional Norwegian dances.   
Time in museum: 45+ minutes
