In 1981 the collection was moved to the old farm RØD. The dwelling house is a smoke house from the 18th century with an added house with a loft, a storeroom on stilts, a smithy and a stable. Today there is also a mill on the farm, moved from Døssland.
Rød has been the property of the Rosendal Barony. The farm also had three smallholdings. From older times the farmers at Rød have had various additional ways of making a living, fishing and hunting, seine production and sea transport. Brigt Holgerson Rød (1864-1943) was a skilful blacksmith, and the Rød knives were renowned far and wide.
The farm has a beautiful situation, surrounded by old, protected, oak trees, and with a view towards Snilstveitøy and the Hardanger Fjord.
