The museum is based in Molde Municipality, but it has sites all over the region.

In addition, the museum has a library and several archives for prints, text, and photographs.

In the middle of the field is the old "Isdammen", previously used for ice production.

The area also contains a lake, which is very popular with local birds, and a stage that is used during Moldejazz, the Molde International Jazz Festival.

In addition to the art collection and archives of historical photographs, the building houses a permanent exhibition that tells about living conditions in the region through different times.
