The master fiddler Myllarguten (The Millers Boy) Torgeir Augundson (1801-1872) died in poverty at the cotter's farm Kòse in Arabygdi. Today there are guided tours here, and performances of airs for Hardanger fiddle after Myllarguten. Inside the cottage there is a bust made by Tor Vaa, and on the picnic area very close by there is a sculpture made by Dyre Vaa. Open for groups on request outside the season, contact Vest-Telemark Museum.
