Things to do in Trondheim, Central Norway: The Best Museums
Norway's capital of technology, the university town of Trondheim is a tech junkie's paradise and a history nerd's dream. The 11th-century Nidarosdomen Cathedral is the national sanctuary of Norway, and the Royal Residence is the largest wooden palace in Scandanavia. Fast-forward several centuries, and SINTEF science research center is doing some of the world's most important work in environmentally-friendly technologies. Nearby skiing is world-class, with World Cup winter sports competitions held regularly at Granåsen.

I found the Ringve music museum after I did the Lade trails and was considering my options over waffles at Sponhuset. It was about 15 mins or so walk and I managed to get there in time for one of their two guided tours of the day. I'm glad I made the choice to go there and arrive when I did, as the tour was fantastic. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging and he played a number of pieces for us on the various instruments in the rooms (rooms which you would otherwise not see without the tour). It was a guide to musical history in Norway, spanning centuries and covering many composers and musicians, and included a history of the museum itself. In the main building itself, there was a temporary exhibition which was quite interactive and the main exhibition held a number of beautiful instruments. It was a lovely and unexpected trip to Ringve and one which was absolutely worth it.

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.

8. Sverresborg Trondelag Folk Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 218 reviews
Open air museum with more than 80 buildings from Trondheim and the Trondelag area. Beautiful surroundings, and from the ruins of King Sverre's Castle you have a wonderful view over the city and the fjord. The impressive main exhibition Livsbilder, Images of Life, in the public building reflects childhood, youth, adulthood and age in the region during the past century. The rural section shows the development in Trondelag buidling styles from the fjord to the mountains, and how people lived in the 18th and 19th centuries in the different country areas.

My friend and I had taken the Tram up to Lian and decided on a walk down to the Museum for a hot drink (toilet break) and back up again, it was just over an hour each way. We didn't visit the Museum but the staff in the cafe spoke English were very lovely. My friend and I chose a cake each wanting to split half each, he overheard this and cut them for us and put half on each plate. The cake was amazing and the cafe was very modern & comfortable. Maybe next time we will have chance to look round the museum.
