The hosts of Jølstramuseet, Heidi and Frode, offer the perfect combination of art, rural history, good atmosphere and local food. The founder of Jølstramuseet, Eivind Fossheim, had a strong interest in the history, everyday objects, and architectural tradition of Jølster. He wanted to create a rural museum where objects and houses from Jølster could be collected and displayed for his descendants.
The gallery in the barn hosts diverse exhibitions. Exhibitions featuring different artists, both local and national, are organised throughout the season. Restaurant Låven serves an à la carte menu based on local seasonal ingredients. Raw ingredients are lovingly and skilfully transformed into a glorious experience celebrating local food. The food is based on the raw ingredients available in the surrounding area. The restaurant’s signature dish is brown trout from Jølstra, served bone-free.
