[3][4] A new facility was built in 1908 to meet the special requirements for the newly established agricultural school.
However, with financial support from the county executive board, the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage, and the municipality of Vestnes, the old facility was renovated and converted into an agricultural museum.
The museum barn contains new exhibitions from 2013 presenting the hard life of a fjord farm in Møre og Romsdal a hundred years ago.
The area around the museum is located in a park with an avenue of oak trees dating from 1758, where there is also an Iron Age burial site.
[7] The exhibitions in the former dormitory cover the agricultural school's history at Gjermundnes, with student rooms restored to their conditions in 1960 and 1918.
