We are open every day this summer.
Here you’ll find the preserved Mølstertunet farm cluster, and in the nearby exhibition building you can explore our exhibitions.
Here is an overview of what you can experience with us this summer:

Guided Tours at Mølstertunet
Every hour on the hour, one of our knowledgeable guides will take you inside some of the houses at Mølstertunet farm cluster.
Mølstertunet
All the buildings at Mølstertunet remain just as they were when the two families who lived here moved out around 100 years ago. Most of the houses are open to visitors, giving you a vivid impression of how homes and farmyards in Voss looked in earlier times.
Dagestad Museum
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Dagestad Museum.
The museum tells the story of woodcarver and teacher Magnus Dagestad.
This summer, the Dagestad Museum is open every weekend in July, from 12:00–15:00.
Concerts at Mølstertunet
Folk Music Concerts in July
Monday to Friday at 12:30, 13:30, and 14:30, there will be concerts at Mølstertunet with young Hardanger fiddle player Martin Gjerdaker Haug.
The concerts are included in the admission ticket.
Concert with guitarist Markus Istad Lirhus
Guitarist Markus Istad Lirhus will perform concerts at Mølstertunet on July 6 and July 20, at 13:00 both days.
He recently completed a one-year music program at the University of Agder in Kristiansand. He will play some of his own songs, some cover songs, and some folk music-inspired pieces.
Café and Museum Shop
In the exhibition building, there is a simple café and museum shop.
We serve coffee, cakes, ice cream, and local handcrafted products, among other things.
The museum also has a lovely outdoor area with benches where you can sit and enjoy the sun.
