Art galleries exhibition spaces foundations and cultural centers Trondheim

This painting gallery adjoins the cathedral. On the steps, the Skrubbefar, a bronze by Dyre Vaa, stands guard. Immediately at the entrance is Karl Uchermann's huge painting (1892) of a moose being devoured by wolves. Further on, we find Peter Balke with his bistre seascapes of the Great North under the storm. Tidemand and Gude, also present, were the great painters of the Norwegian romantic period. The museum café is open daily from 11 am to 8 pm.

It's a great student association that exists since 1927. Housed in this amazing round red house, Samfundet organises events, parties, exhibitions and many other activities. Interesting to get up close and personal with the vibrant youth of Trondheim and the world. Every year they organise UKA, Norway's largest student-run cultural festival and ISFit, one of the largest international student festivals.

The Musée de la Marine is housed in a former prison built in 1725. In use until 1835, it was once known as the slave prison. The legendary Gjest Baardson, the Norwegian Robin Hood, was put in irons here. The museum houses a small collection of sailing ships, some beautiful figureheads and navigational instruments. The museum shop offers beautiful illustrated books, games and small items.

The Musée des Arts et Métiers, in addition to its craft and furniture collections, boasts tapestries based on cartoons by Gerhard Munthe. These motifs tell the story of the Viking epic and perfectly illustrate the Norwegian Olympus. Three other sites are associated with the museum, taking over from the main building: the jewel of Trondheim royal residence, Austrått manor house, one of the country's oldest, and the Hannah Ryggen Centre. Reopening date unknown.
