June 12, 2021 Florencio Paulino

The central Norwegian area of Trondelag has its ideological capital in Trondheim, founded by Viking king Olaf Tryggvason in the 10th century and the seat of Norway's power until the 13th. Today, it's still the country's third-largest city, a university town with a rich culture. Trondelag's western offshore islands of Hitra and Froya are popular for outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, biking, snorkeling and scuba diving. They are also one of the world's best spots for deep sea fishing.

This was a fabulous place. Diverse collection of furniture, ceramics, silver, clothing, and objects d' art. Huge and beautiful layout on multiple floors. They are currently running an exhibit of 125 chosen items selected by a curious assortment of 125 people - everyone from university professors and art experts to children and a museum janitor. Supposedly the 125 best items from the collection. There is a fabulous book in English that you can borrow to read detailed description of each object and maybe some additional Norwegian history or cultural points. Nice gift shop too! 110 NOK (13 dollars) entry fee.
