Nedstrand regional museum

About

Nedstrand Village Museum has several collections and departments. The old customs post from «Ryfylke Customs Station» has been rebuilt in a protected building on the ferry quay. The timber dates from 1550, which makes it one of the oldest preserved wooden buildings in Rogaland. Experience the building and the history of Nedstrand as a customs station. At Gamle Stranda School (1875), the museum has an office, meeting room, and exhibitions that change regularly. The youth club at Baustad was erected in 1913 and up until 1992 was a meeting place for various associations and organisations. One of the rooms in the youth club houses the Kirkebø Collection, which includes the surgery of Dr. Jon Kirkebø, district doctor in Nedstrand from 1925 to 1949.
