Summer at Maihaugen

Embark on a journey through time at Maihaugen – Norway’s largest open-air museum, beautifully situated just above Lillehammer town centre. In summer, the museum comes alive! Explore the rural charm of the 1800s with traditional farmsteads, grazing animals, and farmers strolling through the landscape. Step inside historic houses and meet hosts who share stories from days gone by.

In the Town you can shop over the counter, peek into classic city homes and workshops, and meet people in period dress who bring the past to life. Throughout the summer, the museum offers lively storytelling, skilled artisans, and authentic experiences.

Visit Queen Sonja’s childhood home, explore engaging exhibitions or relax in one of the cafés. Summer at Maihaugen is filled with memories, discoveries, and true Norwegian cultural history.
