The open-air museum at Bunge is a folk museum which shows how the Gotlandic peasants of the past lived. The museum´s creator, schoolteacher Th. Erlandsson (1869 – 1953), moved to Bunge from central Gotland at the end of the 19th century. At that time most of Gotland´s old buildings had already disappeared and he decided to try to save those that remained. Many local people also became interested in this idea and a piece of land was obtained from the Church. It was to this land that old buildings threatened with demolition could be transported.The first buildings arrived in 1908 – a couple of very old houses from Biskops in the parish of Bunge.
