Title: Another day in Norway
Post by ClusterChuck on Oct 5th, 2005, 7:06pm
Today we went to the Norsk Folkemuseum.  That translates into: Norway People Museum.  That is not the best description of what it is.  It is a large trac of land where they have moved houses and other buildings, from around Norway, from all earlier periods.  They have an area set up to be Downtown Oslo.  They have another area the would be called a suburban Oslo.  And another area of farm houses and such.  A truely memorable day.  At the end, I have included some closeups of the structure of some of the buildings.  I, at least, find that sort of stuff facinating!

Well, enjoy!

Let's walk down a street in Osl, circa 1750

You know, if you attempt to rob the bank, you end up in JAIL:

Hired hand cabin

Now this is listed as a loft storage, but it spent most of its life as a home.  Are you ready for its age?  Circa 1300

What do they use for termites, last I heard the Alamo was about half chewed up by the critters. Maybe they have no termites in Norway, way to fucking cold. ;)
