Old Bergen Museum (Gamle Bergen)

Bergen, the "Gateway to the Fjords" is famous for the ancient Bryggen Hanseatic wharf, the fish market and the proximity of the fjords Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord. But this city also has a little gem that goes unnoticed to most tourists, it is the Old Bergen Museum, a big outdoor area in the Gamle Bergen Park which has been reconstructed to look like an old town and is made up of about 40-50 wooden houses that represent the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. When visiting this museum while enjoying the aspect of the buildings one can also see performances with characters dressed in costumes to help give more authenticity to this unique enclave.
