On the outskirts of the city, you will find the unique ethnographic museum Maihaugen. The cultural facility recreates an old Norwegian village, the vast territory of which has over 200 old houses that were built in different periods. Here you can see traditional fishing huts and homes of wealthy farmers, as well as several historic churches. Each house stores a collection of interesting historical exhibits such as old national costumes, musical instruments, and folk art objects.
In summer, the museum regularly hosts beautiful holidays dedicated to traditional culture. Historical reenactments are carried out here along with vivid parades of national costumes, musical and dance performances. The open-air ethnographic museum is located in an incredibly beautiful natural area, so lovers of pristine nature will surely appreciate the tour.
One of the most unusual cultural centers in Lillehammer is the Norsk Kjoretoyhistorisk Museum. It houses a unique collection of old cars, among which there are 19th-century vehicles. The most valuable exhibits are a steam car released in 1901 and one of the first electric cars in the world assembled back in 1917. Visitors are allowed to get behind the wheel of some vintage cars, as well as try out some vehicles in action. Many tourists visit the museum not only to admire its antique cars but also to make spectacular memorable pictures.
