About Gamle Bergen Museum
This open-air museum in Sandviken preserves 55 historic wooden buildings from 1700-1900, relocated from central Bergen to recreate an entire neighborhood of timber houses, shops, and workshops. Costumed guides lead summer tours through furnished interiors including a dentist's office, bakery, and merchant homes, bringing 18th and 19th-century Bergen life to vivid reality.
Insider Tips
Visit on a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon in summer when traditional craftspeople demonstrate bookbinding, lace-making, and other period trades in the workshop buildings.
