Norsk Folkemuseum, the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History at Bygdøy in Oslo, has a large open air museum. It was established in 1894 by Hans Aall and contains 155 buildings which have been relocated from different districts of Norway.

Among its more significant buildings are Gol stave church from the 13th century, Raulandstua from the 14th century, and the 18th century tenement building relocated from Wessels gate 15 in Oslo.

In 2004, the administration of the adjacent Royal Manor (Bygdøy Kongsgård) was transferred to the museum.

The museum also possesses a large photographic archive, including a significant portion of the works of Anders Beer Wilse
