Karmsund Folk Museum
This is the main division of the consolidated museum. It is centrally placed in the old dairy buildings in Haugesund.
The exhibitions cover important themes of the region’s history: town history, agriculture development, fisheries, homes and local environment. There is also a special room for short time exhibitions, a work shop, store rooms and, of course, the Haugaland museum administration.
The museum offers guiding, lectures, films of cultural or historical interest, a small cafe and a small book shop.
Karmsund Folk Museum has several other local divisions open to the public. One such division is Dokken, situated at Hasseløy, a collection of old houses, many of them at their original sites, a typical small farm at Ørpetveit and Mikal Klovning’s sea house at Utsira.
