Folk costumes since 1928
Since 1928, the Romsdalsmuseet (Romsdal Museum) has been working with folk costumes, or "bunader", when the museum founded a children's dance group.
The dancers used "national costumes" to perform for tourists arriving by cruise ship. The idea of a Romsdal costume was still in its infancy.
In the early 1980s, the museum received a request from parents in the village of Rødven for help in developing a bunad inspired by a bunad wedding corsage, to give their children a costume typical of the region.
This national costume was presented to the Norwegian Institute for Bunad and Folk Costume, and was awarded the status of national costume for women in the Romsdal region.
In the years that followed, several costumes were copied and today, Romsdalsmueet's bunad department produces several variants of the women's costume, including buns, skirts and all the pieces needed for a suit.
A men's suit has also been developed, based on a local Grytten groom's suit from around 1800. The jacket is influenced by European military fashion. The pants are made of elk leather and the jacket of embroidered silk.
All our costumes are recommended by the Norwegian Institute for Bunad and Folk Costumes.
