	Open air museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like other museums, an open air museum is a non-profit making, permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, the tangible and intangible evidence of people and their environment.
		Precursors of open air museums were the "exotic" pavilions, "antique" temples, "ancient ruins" and "peasant cottages" to be found in 18th century landscape parks.
		The royal open air museum was later incorporated into the Norsk Folkemuseum, established on an adjacent property in the 1890es.
