Valdres Musea sits on Storøya, just outside Fagernes. This is Norway's third largest folk museum, so there's quite a bit to see here.
The museum specialises in traditional music instruments, which makes it different from other folk museums around the country. You'll find typical Norwegian wooden buildings moved here from around the Valdres valley.
The collection shows how people lived in this mountain region over the centuries. It's not as crowded as some of the bigger museums down south.
The museum is open during summer months mainly. You can buy local crafts and souvenirs at the museum shop if you're looking for something authentic from the region.
