The Rygnestadtunet Open Air Museum is a museum village in Valle , Setesdal in the Norwegian province of Agder . The museum is located near the intersection between roads R 9 and RV 45. Today's Rygnestadtunet open-air museum is part of the Setesdalsmuseet . The museum village has been preserved in the state in which it was abandoned in 1919 and preserved in 1923.

The original courtyard complex consists of the main courtyard building built with wood from 1349/1350, a water mill, a three-storey warehouse from 1590, a barn, stables, a sheepfold, a forge and a sauna - mostly from the 19th century.
