I mean, can you really fault a free museum??? When I visited they had an exhibit about religion which is not really my thing (like, at all) but I enjoyed looking at the pictures- such awesome quality! Then upstairs they had a lot of shots from Tromso 50-60 years ago which was really cool to see.

Amazing museum with great exhibiton

This is a photography museum. The exhibitions on display when I visited were Red Utopia, which was about the presence of communism in countries around the world even today. The photographer does a very good job of showing their stories. Homo Religiosus was another one which, as the name suggests, was about various religions, their evolution and it's importance in people's lives. Overall, I liked the presentations; and since the entry to this museum is free, there is no harm in visiting it.

Great Museum! Great concept! I do like photography. Three levels, a few places to sit and relax out of the snow in the warmth. There are free lockers in the entrance for your backpack/coat and clean amenities inside. Be kind and buy something from the gift shop. We bought some bits and pieces but I still regret not buying the lovely linen tea towels for my friends.

An interesting but small museum. On the first floor there was a very pretty and interesting photography exhibition from the arctic. On the second and third floor there was an exhibition of a famous Norwegian author.

An enjoyable tour of this museum which has frequently changing exhibits. For my visit was of Cora Sandal's work (artist and author) from Tromsø. It was a thought provoking exhibition with lots of intriguing artworks. A particular highlight for me was the listening room where we could hear extracts of the written works. This is no longer free entry, unless a student. I am pleased my student card meant this did not cost us lots, as we are not knowledge about this artist and author beforehand so arrived out of curiosity instead of love. The museum is over 3 floors so if stairs are impossible then maybe ask if they have a solution before paying. They have toilets (free) and coat lockers with keys outside in the lobby and by the toilets inside. Enjoyed it. We are unlikely to need to visit this exhibit twice but would return to see a different experience next trip.

Lovely and pretty non-touristic museum, more for the connoisseurs, fans of Norwegian author Cora Sandel, real name Sara Fabricius, who lived in Tromsø for a while during her childhood. A must see for literature or art lovers.

They were changing the exhibition downstairs (and there's roadworks outside so persevere on finding entrance). The main exhibition on Sara Fabricus/Cora Sandal a national artist then writer a turn of 19c was very interesting. A bitter sweet insight to the life of women at that time.

Cute small museum that used to be Sara's Fabricius family house during the years they lived in Tromsø. Currently there's 2 exhibitions. The 1st one is of a Norwegian photographer that traveled 38 countries around Europe and to take photos of meaningful places in European history. He took great pictures of the young people, really liked that part. The 2nd exhibit is an extansive one dedicated to Sara's Fabricius life story in Tromsø and other places. The guy at reception was super nice and gave a really good intro to what's in the museum. The area is under major construction so it's missing the curb appeal but great inside! Open daily exapt Mondays. 80kr entrance fee.

50Nkr entrance fee. Not my type of museum. 3 small floors of local artists (I think) my partner thought it was another museum. Ground floor was the best for me, about near places and what as happened to them.

Some nice photographs on display. Not much to see though.

An excellent photographic exhibition followed by an exhibition of Cora Sandel's life and work, also excellent. Delightful and knowledgeable member of staff.

The photography exposition from Evgenia Arbugaeva is breathtakingly beautiful and the interactive set-up of the Cora Sandel exposition was impressive!

Interesting, unique and cool exhibits welcoming and helpful staff. Very doable price

Lovely small exhibition. Beautiful photos from northern Russia and an intriguing exhibit on author and artist Cora Sandel. Enough but not all signs in both Norwegian and English.

A poetic gem for a glimpse of the arctic life and the artists that are nurtured by these lands. The presentation, narrative style, and the content are just so underrated!! A must-see in Tromsø for any literature and art lovers who is interested in why and how people live in such isolated but breath-taking grounds.

Interesting museum to visit in the city of Trømso! The exhibition was about Sara, author/artist from Trømso and her work. What we liked the most about this museum was the way they have used technology for presenting the story and audio of written works! It was cool 😎 There was an entry fee of 50kr!

It is a bit like a local Munch. It is a nice collection but lacks content. Most of the gadgetry is just there for being a gadget (which might be cool but unrelated, like the moving table)

Unfortunately the old pictures of Tromsø, which is the reason why we went there, are no longer exhibited. Also, it used to be free, now it costs 50 NOK (5€ approximately)

Wonderful curator work blending photography projects ‘Red Utopia’, an exhibition of Jan Banning (Dutch) capturing supporters of Communism at various locations around the globe with local Tromsø historical photography by world renown, home-grown Tromsø artist, Knut Stokmo. An additional social enhancement weaved in called ´Homo Religiosus ‘ highlighting all the religions active locally in Tromsø Norway. Exhibitions which triggers the deep thought of the individual visitor!

Current exhibition is on famous Norwegian painter and author Sara Fabricus who wrote using the pseudonym Cora Sandel. Even if you don't know her before you go (I didn't!), it is a fantastic exhibition and you learn a lot. It is beautifully presented with some very clever touches. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone interested in art and literature, or stories of women from the first half of the 20th century.
