The open-air museum consists of a collection of different building types from Sunnmøre. The museum area is widely used for recreation, and borders both the fjord and the forest. South of the museum area is Borgund church and the area where the medieval town of Borgund was located. By the sea are the boat halls and the museum quay, where a large collection of Sunnmøre traditional boats is on display, and copies of ships and smaller boats from the Viking Age. By the quay are Borgundknarren, a copy of a merchant ship from the Middle Ages, and MK Heland, a fishing boat that participated in the English voyage during World War II. New exhibitions will open in the main building in 2022.

Sunnmøre Museum
Sunnmøre museum tells the story of the way of life in the old farming community. In the idyllic Borgund gable is a large collection of buildings from all over Sunnmøre. Here you get to know how people lived in the pre-modern Sunnmøre. In the boat hall we tell the story of boat development and traffic at sea from the Viking Age until the motorboats took over.
