Why visit

The Open Air Museum of Ethnography brings regional buildings and domestic objects into one outdoor setting near Turtle Lake. Moving between the houses makes differences in materials, rooms and ways of living easier to notice than a single display case could.

What to expect

This is a museum visit with paths and slopes, not a short stop at one building. Leave time to explore whichever houses and exhibitions are open on the day; workshops and access to individual interiors may vary.
