PROJECT

Since 2022 the museum has been installed various types of displays that depict a living and historical Faroese village. The aim is to depict an environment for visitors to experience and catch a glimpse of how everyday life on the islands was in the old days.

 

In 2022, the first unit – a smoke room – was finished. In 2024 a glass room was added. Both units are historic recreations that depict Faroese and architectural tradition. In 2025 the follwing units were made:

​

• A postal unit was made that shows the important role of the postal service in communication between villages.

• Washing, dyeing and fulling – showing how clothes used to be washed by hand under simple conditions and how dye was used.

• The byre – with traditional tools and facilities for the housing and farming of livestock.

• Model of the village of Múla and surrounding mountains, rendering a visual impression of this distinctive historical place.

• Miniature model of a smoke room, depicting the day-to-day existence of generations past.

​

The project includes the following units:​

• Boat house with a boat and fishing gear

• Storehouse

• Hay barn

• Shed for drying grain

 

These installations will enable visitors to see, feel and learn about how life in a typical Faroese village used to be. This creates both cultural value and learning material for coming generations.
