Bardu Bygdetun

About the museum

Bardu Bygdetun consists of old farm buildings, most from the 1860s, and a large collection of objects. Bardu municipality bought the farm in 1969. The main house was built in 1868 by Morten Olsen Lundamo and Barbro Nilsdatter Livelten, of rough timber on a natural-stone foundation, and today it is the museum's main building, with a living room (stue) and kitchen on the ground floor.

The cowshed (fjøset) from around 1875 was moved and re-erected in 1974–75 and restored in 1999; the storehouse (stabburet) is from 1868. The schoolroom from Nerli farm was built in 1895 and came to Bardu in 1975, and Toftakerstua from 1870 was moved to the farmstead in 1976. In Toftakerstua a mineral collection after Jørgen Larsen is shown, with minerals from all over the world.

The farmstead also has a smithy, a mill and a threshing barn (treskelåve). Bardu Bygdetun is run by Midt-Troms Museum in cooperation with the Friends of Bardu Bygdetun (Bardu Bygdetuns venneforening).
