About the museum
Glomdalsmuseet was founded in January 1911 by Magnus Hamlander and opened the same year as a cultural history museum for Solør and Østerdalen. Today the museum is in Elverum and is one of the departments of Anno museum, which was previously called Hedmark fylkesmuseum.
The open-air museum has 93 buildings from the years 1612 to 1940, arranged in farmyards by municipality and roughly following the geography from Tynset towards Solør and Finnskogen. One of the oldest houses is Stemsrudstua from around 1620. The buildings and collections also show the building traditions of the skogfinnene (Forest Finns) and South Sámi culture.
The permanent exhibition Latjo drom tells of the culture and history of the romanifolket (Romani people) in Norway. The exhibition Kongens nei (The King's No) deals with the events of April 1940. The museum also has a large library from Helge Væringsåsen's collections and an art collection given to Elverum municipality. A footbridge connects the museum with Norsk skogmuseum.
