Welcome to the Troll Museum – the first museum in Norway dedicated entirely to trolls and fairy tales.

Please note: Troll Museum will be closed from 26 September to 4 October 2026.

Centrally located in Tromsø, we aim to bring you closer to the magic of Norwegian folklore and the creatures that inhabit it.

Our museum is a small and cosy venue, and our approach is based on a combination of handmade art, attention to detail and modern technology. The exhibits incorporate augmented reality features that add movement and sound to the artwork on display. This creates a unique museum experience where you can dip your toes into Norwegian folklore and discover how the idea of trolls has evolved over time.

Our Road of Trolls exhibit takes you on an insightful journey through the world of trolls, from the very beginning. Discover what the universe looked like according to Viking beliefs, read the fairy tales that Norwegian parents have been telling their children for centuries, and see what trolls look like in their natural habitat.

In the Home of the Sea Troll, you will gain a closer insight into life at sea, which has always played an important role in this region. Meet Tromsø's very own Sea Troll and find out why he lives in the north, explore other myths and sea creatures from Norwegian folklore, discover the Sami people, and much more.
