THE MUSEUM
The vision og the museum is to be an active, different and attractive museum. In addition to being a national documentation and resource center for the heritage of the clergyman and poet Petter Dass, we want to impart knowledge and experiences for both our young and old guests. Scenic surroundings, distinctive architecture and site history forms the framework for a visit. The Petter Dass Museum features both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Every hour during the museum’s opening hours a multimedia program about the site appears.

GROUP VISIT
You can visit the Petter Dass Museum throughout the year. Guided tours must be booked during wintertime. In the summer we have regular tours, but groups of ten people must book tours in advance. Group visits and guided tours outside normal opening hours may also be ordered. A standard tour includes an introduction to the site, viewing the multimedia program and a brief review of the exhibitions in the new museum. Estimated time is approximately one hour including the time you look around on your own.
