5 Specialty Museums in Tromso That You Shouldn't Miss
The fjords and mountain ranges of Tromso are simply magical. Here, the northern lights sparkle across the same navy blue sky that's illuminated by the midnight sun. You'll be spellbound by Tromso's enchanting fishing villages, fragrant botanical gardens and crystalline waterfalls. Music is a major part of the Tromso culture, particularly techno and electronic music, which adds some thumping thunder to the city once a year during the annual Insomnia Festival.

This is one of my favourite places to go and take visitors to Tromso. There is there an amazing Aurora video (still my favourite even after seeing it about 10 times). I love the hands on science activities that are varied and lots of fun as well as educational and informative. Best place to have fun while learning at the same time for all ages. Although many think it is more for kids I take adults and they love it too. Highly recommend.

Great museum about Roald Amundsen , Fritjof Nansen and others of the great Norwegian explorers with a lot of artefacts and pictures showing the rough life they had then on their expeditions. They were throughly heroes and Daredevils like our times astronauts. It’s a good idea to see the Norwegian film ”Admundsen” before you see the museum.

This was the only place we hadn’t already visited that was open on New Year’s Day and it was well worth the trek on foot up a hill with suitcases (our flight left the same evening). We received a friendly welcome before going into the first exhibition hall. There were lots of interactive displays, a great little film theatre where we watched a film about an expedition to a lava river, geographical halls, ethnographic displays, natural history displays - something for everyone. We spent a good 3 hours here, finishing off with an informative film about the northern lights. Highly recommended.
