NTNU University Museum
About

The NTNU University Museum in Trondheim is one of Norway’s oldest scholarly institutions, bringing together natural history, archaeology and cultural heritage under one roof. Its exhibitions trace the region’s story from prehistoric settlements to medieval Trondheim, supported by significant archaeological finds and engaging reconstructions. The natural history collections highlight Nordic biodiversity, from geological formations to wildlife displays that reveal the ecosystems of central Norway. Housed in a historic building near the Nidaros Cathedral precinct, the museum blends academic depth with an accessible visitor experience. It serves as both a research centre and a public museum, offering a clear window into the scientific and cultural foundations that have shaped Trøndelag.
