An open air museum with buildings dating back to the 1500s, Kristiansand, Norway

Kristiansand has its share of museums worth a visit. This summer I have been to Kristiansand Museum, an open-air museum, established in 1903. It is home to 40 historical houses from Agder. Agder is one of the southernmost counties with both a coastline and hinterland. The museum has divided the exhibition into three different areas, depending on which geographiclly part of Agder the buildings come from. The areas have different traditions when it comes to building customs. You will find both farmhouses and urban environments.
