About the Museum

Trondheim Art Museum houses Norway's third-largest public art collection, focusing on visual art produced after 1850. Visitors come to view its permanent collection of Norwegian historical art alongside temporary exhibitions featuring modern works by Norwegian and international artists.

Getting There

The main building is located in central Trondheim near the cathedral park. From Trondheim Central Station or the central market square, it is an easy 5 to 10-minute walk south.

Visiting Time

Allow between 1 and 2 hours for a visit. This provides enough time to browse the permanent galleries and take in any temporary exhibitions on display.

When to Visit

Weekday mornings and early afternoons are generally quiet and uncrowded. Weekends and rainy days tend to see more visitors. Temporary exhibitions change periodically, so available artwork varies by season.
