Christmas market at Trøndelag folk museum

For a couple of years we’ve joined the new and quite small christmas market at Trøndelag folk museum. It is a cozy open air museum located close to where I grew up. It consists of a large area with a collection of old buildings, located around a hill around the ruins of an old fortress with history back to the viking age, now called Sverresborg.

The weather was unfortunately really quite terrible, we had a lot of wind, snow and rain.

Just me, trying to sell you my homemade goods 😉

Met these awesome “yule goats”, we call them “julebukk”, an ancient norwegian tradtion, these guys brought you gifts a looong time before santa was invented.

Old saami building for storing food, safely away from animals. Love it!

Saami earth sheltered house, this is how many of them used to live.

Do you have folk museums where you live?
