Kistefos Wood Pulp Mill

Kistefos agreed to deliver power and lumber to the plant at Follum, being paid market price and a premium for the processing.

After the closing of the factory the fall was converted to a hydroelectric power plant.

The lumber came mill owned forests in Land, pulled across Randsfjorden and floated down Randselva to Kistefoss.

The museum opened in 1996 as the Kistefos Museet and underwent major renovation works in the following years, thanks to donations by the Jevnaker municipality and by Sveaas.

In September 2015, the museum unveiled an expansion project designed by the architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group.
