Bagn Bygdesamling

Bagn Bydesamling is the work of Olaus Islandsmoen and consists of 12 logbuildings and a building for permanent displays. It is located 8 km south of Bagn in Sør-Aurdal.

The museum has also displays at the small farm Sandviken and Bagnsbergatn. The last one is a national World War II memorial location. The permanent display consists of artifacts from the stone and Iron Age, textils and clothing, furniture and kitchen items, craftmanship, hunting and fishing, farming and (?), music, school and artifacts from the war.
