Tromsø Forsvarsmuseum is a local military museum with a lot of history to offer. It has a wide variety of WW2 memorabilia, each with a history of their own. The owners of this museum are also filled with knowledge about the war and the items within the museum, so go ahead and ask tons of questions! Though I must warn you, since I myself am Norwegian, haven't checked how well they speak English.

Opening hours listed on the web are incorrect and the place was closed when we came for a visit. By the look of it there is very limited parking spots and the place look like in a disarray. Overgrown with grass and scrubs. Hardly a place you would expect to accept visitors.

Das Museum ist besser als sein Ruf, 2 Kanonen mit Tunnelbunker, 1 Kommandobunker oben auf dem Berg und ein Munitionsbunker mit der sehenswerten Tirpitzausstellung. Zudem das Hauptmuseumsgebäude. Problem, die Orte liegen relativ weit voneinander entfernt und die Besucher übersehen häufig die Tirpitzausstellung und den Kommandobunker! Der Kommandobunker war verschlossen, aber nach nettem Nachfragen wurde er geöffnet. Leider ist die Umgebung des Museums ungepflegt, da müsste mehr zurückgeschnitten werden. Es war nur Barzahlung möglich, aber es wurde auch Eurogeld akzeptiert.

Especially the Tirpitz part is very rich in artefacts and nicely done. The Defense museum consists mostly of photographs and articles from the newspapers, with a few artefacts.

Good place to visit for anyone interested in WW2 in Norway. Payment for museum was with cash only so you'll need local currency.

The times written are not correct. I went at 4pm and it was closed.
