Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseum was established in 1893, inspired by the world exhibitons and Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The collection consist of national and international decorative arts and design. This includes Japanese Craft, Scandinavian design classics and contemporary Norwegian design and Crafts. Here you can find the worlds largest collection of Hannah Ryggens textiles and interiors designed for the museum by Henry van de Velde and Finn Juhl.
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.

Ringve Music Museum is a specialized museum dedicated to music and musical instruments. All year musical guides take you through music history with live demonstrations of historical instruments. Ringve is a country estate with buildings from four different centuries surrounded by Ringve Botanical Gardens.
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.

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.

The Roros Museum is an independent foundation dedicated to care for and develop historical cultural values in the Roros district. We have a special responsibility for Roros World Heritage, southern Sami historical culture, mining history, the preservation of buildings and information about Femundsmarka National Park. The Roros Museum has four sites to visit, all of which are open to the public: "Smetlhytta" (The Smeltery), "Olavsgruva" (Olav's Mine), "Doktortjonna" (Femundsmarka National Park Centre and outdoor recreation area) and "Sleggveien" (Slag Street).
What a great museum!! Authentic, fantastic models – a wonderful way of telling the story of copper mining for 300+ years. The mix of history, culture and art is really good. Fun for young and old!

‘Bergstadens Ziir’ – better known as Roros Church – was built during the copperwork’s golden age ‘in God’s honour and as an adornment to the town. The church, which was completed in 1784, does justice to its name with its majestic location high above the timber buildings. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage regards the church as one of the ten most profiled churches in Norway. It is one of the country’s largest churches with seating for 1,600 people. The church has been newly opened after 2 years of extensive renovation and has now been restored to its former glory.
Yes, this was a very interesting Church, entry fee Nkr 50,00 and well worth the money. A large amount of history, and you can rent a guide.

Trondheim Science Store is open all days of the week, and you can drop by without a ticket to the center.
Highly appreciated by both kids and adults. We had only two hours in the center (limited due to Covid-19) and time went by all too quickly. A must if you visit Trondheim with kids.

Slag is a by-product of copper smelting. Slegghaugan stand as large mountains that are a testament to the huge amount of activity that has taken place over 333 years. If you climb to the top of Slegghaugan, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Mining-Town. Very close to Slegghaugan is Sleggveien, also referred to as Pippi Street. An episode of Pippi Long Stocking was filmed here.
Quite central hills with good views. We went here as a part of the guided city walk (recommended), and by ourselves. Scenic river close by. That is why the city was founded here and not closer to the mines - the water energy of the river is central to this mining city. At times, there is a theatre show, with real horses and more, on these slag hills. You can look at and hold in your hand the interesting leftover slag hill stones, but not move it. This is a Unesco world heritage site; the whole "circumference" around the actual mine is.

If you want to be close to nature then this is the place to go, wonderful any time of the year wether you are walking or skiing (or even mushroom picking in the right season). A nice change from the hustle and bustle of the town centre and easily accessible by public transport from the town.

Flott gatemarked på Torvet i Trondheim, gjenntagende evenement, kortreist mat, attraksjon, utendørs, ingen inngang.
So nice walking through looking at all the stalls, I wanted to buy everything from the homemade honey to local fish. If I was I local I would be here all the time! It was right next to the Christmas market too.

Lovely photo opportunities from this bridge The difficulty with the photos in June 2020 are that paintwork is getting done. However, the decorator - seems to want to appear on everybody’s photo posing with a can of Monster energy drink for the 30 minutes I was there. Cross the bridge and on the corner on the left is a sensational coffee shop. Turn right and take photo opportunities at the quaint cafe next to the cycling repair shop Essential viewing when in Trondheim on way to Nidaros Cathedral - which is stunning in itself!!!!
