Norsk Folkemuseum, Gol Stave Church (1)

The island of Bygdøy is home to one of the city’s most exclusive residential areas as well as a number of museums that collectively reflect Norway’s cultural history and national life. While there we spent several hours at the Norsk Folkemuseum, Europe’s original and largest open-air museum, where more than 150 buildings from all over Norway have been assembled. There is also an indoor display area featuring folk costumes and traditional Norwegian folk art.

This is one of a series of pictures of the Gol Stave Church, built around 1200 in Hallingdal, and relocated here and restored in 1885. It is one of 30 preserved stave churches in Norway.

A lamp post and not sure what else in Bygdøy, posted earlier:
