Lands Museum is the cultural and natural history center for Nordre Land and Søndre Land in Innlandet, Norway. It sits at the north end of Randsfjorden, the fourth-largest lake in Norway, near the Dokka Delta nature reserve.

Founded in 1927, Lands Museum is now part of Randsfjord Museum, which also includes Hadeland Folkemuseum in Tingelstad (Gran), Hadeland Bergverksmuseum in Lunner, and Kittilbu Utmarksmuseum in Gausdal.

The museum has more than 30 historical buildings, with the oldest dating from around 1630. One notable building is Thomlebygningen, a 17th-century house from Thomle farm with rococo paintings by local artist Peder Aadnes (1739–92).

A new Middle Ages section features a reconstructed hearth cottage. In the administration building you can find archives, photo and artifact collections, and a new beaver exhibition.

The site also has an amphitheater for concerts, theatre, and film performances.
