The museum, therefore, exhibits artifacts and buildings from this culture. The museum is open everyday from 1 July to 12 August. Guided tours are available and people can participate in special local arrangements, such as learning about "Falkefangst". About 300–400 years ago, this was a way of hunting [[Falcon]]s in the mountains. ===Attractions=== In 1886 the steamship company Fæmund was established, and they invested in a wooden [[steamship]], which today holds the same name: [[M/S Femund II|M/S ''Femund II'']].
