Osterøy Museum sits at Gjerstad in the middle of Osterøy, the largest inland island in northern Europe. Founded in 1920, the museum focuses on village life north of Bergen, with a particular strength in textile and weaving traditions.
The craft of weaving is still kept alive here through collaboration with researchers, artists, and designers. Guided summer tours show how farming, fishing, and handwork shaped daily life on the island.
