Favourite museum in Trondheim as it offers a live history experience through the old well preserved houses, each with its story. One of my favourites was the Lion Pharmacy located in the Adolf Øyens apartment which is only open for the public on Sundays between 11:30-12:30. There are several other programs in the weekend, so you might want to check that out on their website or at the entrance before visiting. I attach a photo of the program during my visit, which is subject to change overtime of course. I also recommend taking the guided tour, which is included in the purchased ticket, but you need to know when it starts. With the guide, you can visit the two churches and other rooms that are otherwise not open for the public. My favourite was the special wedding reception house. ❤️ And of course the experience wouldn't have been the same without our charming and nice guide. The photographer's house is also a hidden gem, as you can take a digital picture of yourselves which then goes up on the displayed vintage painting frame, and it stays there for a few seconds, enough for you to capture it with your phone. Super nice memory souvenir. Also, spectacular views from the old castle ruins. It takes about 3 hours to visit everything. There's also a nice restaurant/ café and museum shop. You also get a free entrance to the Maritime Museum with this ticket. But you’ll find out all about it at the reception from the lovely staff. Loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Folk Museum - the only museum we visited in Trondheim. We arrived right on time for the daily 14:30 tour in English where a guide dressed in traditional attire took us to some of the oldest sites on the property, including the 2 churches, ruins of a castle, and an old family home. He explained the history of these places and gave us glimpses into how it was in the past. After that, we had just enough time to walk through the folktale/fairytale path on the way to the animal feeding at 16:00. We saw the pigs, rabbits, chickens, and cows, and got to feed the goats ourselves. The staff were all very friendly and available to answer any questions. We spent 2.5 hours there but easily could’ve spent 3 or more hours. Make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes since it’s spread out outdoors with many different buildings to visit and learn about.

An amazing folk museum. You can travel trough different periods of time between the buildings that are in a traditional Norwegian style. You will be able to learn about their lifestyle, society, religion and traditions. Strongly recommend the guided tour (Sundays at 1pm). Our guide shared many interesting facts (with great sense of humor as well) and showed us inside building that are not usually open. Besides that, we also recommend visiting the Adolf Øien's apartment, that is open Sunday from 11-12:30. In this building there is also a “guide” who provided much information and was super friendly. The place in general is great! In my opinion it is a must in Trondheim :)

Beautiful museum with a collection of old farmhouses and some original buildings from downtown Trondheim which have been moved to this place. The whole is built around the ruins of Sverre Sigurrson's castle. During the summer months, most of the buildings are open, but during the winter, only the old downtown Trondheim ones are. It's worth a visit to check out the architecture, and the walk through of old Trondheim was really interesting. Almost all the signs are in Norwegian and English, which is helpful. Additionally, the view from the castle ruins is impressive and worth the hike. Highly recommended.

Very nice museum! You can get to discover norwegian traditions and typical buildings, farms, churchs and an abandoned town. There is also the King's Sværre castle, a castle with little remains but where there is a very good view of Trondheim and Trøndelag fjord, find local sheeps and you can find nice people with older knight clothes who can help you on practicing on archery. There is also an inner area with nice temporary exhibitions. The museum itself is very well organized and they give you a good map with all the events they organize.

This is one of the greatest museums in Trondheim. This museum is rich of Norwegian tradition and history. They have a great guides who are passionate about their job. I learned and enjoyed a lot from this place. It is a child friendly place and highly recommended for families. They have activities for both children and adults. The museum has many buildings inside and each has its own story. You need at least 3-5 hours to enjoy the place fully.
