With the old houses, stone fences, clearing piles, hayfields, irrigation systems, farming, paths, roads and bridges, the cultural landscape shows traces of the human activity in the valley. The farm yard at Måbø is a small row yard with two small farms at the top of the valley. For the last hundred years, there have been two residential houses, two barns and a fire house along the old path that runs through the yard. Buildings, paths and bridges have been restored. The museum has turned the entire valley floor into an exhibition area, where 21 information boards convey a history of resource utilization and development in Måbødalen.
