VISIT TO THE DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Has ‘fjøsnissen’ (the leprechaun) been here?
The ‘fjøsnissen’ is fond of the animals. He supervises the farmer’s work and makes sure that he takes good care of the cattle. ‘Fjøsnissen’ is shy and hides when anyone approaches the farm, but at times we may get a glance of him, and we can often see traces of him having been there.
The museum shops are open

TOUR OF THE MAIHAUGEN TOWN
Christmas decorations
We visit homes with traditional Christmas decorations and through the village street of Maihaugen whilst admiring the Christmas lights and decorations.
The lady at Olsengården is busy preparing Christmas. The year is 1933.
Has the goblin been here too? Inexplicable things happen. Maybe ‘Fjøsnissen’ has played a trick on us.
