This was a fabulous place. Diverse collection of furniture, ceramics, silver, clothing, and objects d' art. Huge and beautiful layout on multiple floors. They are currently running an exhibit of 125 chosen items selected by a curious assortment of 125 people - everyone from university professors and art experts to children and a museum janitor.

I found the Ringve music museum after I did the Lade trails and was considering my options over waffles at Sponhuset. It was about 15 mins or so walk and I managed to get there in time for one of their two guided tours of the day. I'm glad I made the choice to go there and arrive when I did, as the tour was fantastic. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging and he played a number of pieces for us on the various instruments in the rooms (rooms which you would otherwise not see without the tour). It was a guide to musical history in Norway, spanning centuries and covering many composers and musicians, and included a history of the museum itself. In the main building itself, there was a temporary exhibition which was quite interactive and the main exhibition held a number of beautiful instruments. It was a lovely and unexpected trip to Ringve and one which was absolutely worth it.
4. Sverresborg Trondelag Folk Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 218 reviews
Open air museum with more than 80 buildings from Trondheim and the Trondelag area. Beautiful surroundings, and from the ruins of King Sverre's Castle you have a wonderful view over the city and the fjord. The impressive main exhibition Livsbilder, Images of Life, in the public building reflects childhood, youth, adulthood and age in the region during the past century. The rural section shows the development in Trondelag buidling styles from the fjord to the mountains, and how people lived in the 18th and 19th centuries in the different country areas.

My friend and I had taken the Tram up to Lian and decided on a walk down to the Museum for a hot drink (toilet break) and back up again, it was just over an hour each way. We didn't visit the Museum but the staff in the cafe spoke English were very lovely. My friend and I chose a cake each wanting to split half each, he overheard this and cut them for us and put half on each plate. The cake was amazing and the cafe was very modern & comfortable. Maybe next time we will have chance to look round the museum.

Highly appreciated by both kids and adults. We had only two hours in the center (limited due to Covid-19) and time went by all too quickly. A must if you visit Trondheim with kids.

If you want to be close to nature then this is the place to go, wonderful any time of the year wether you are walking or skiing (or even mushroom picking in the right season). A nice change from the hustle and bustle of the town centre and easily accessible by public transport from the town.

Lovely photo opportunities from this bridge The difficulty with the photos in June 2020 are that paintwork is getting done. However, the decorator - seems to want to appear on everybody’s photo posing with a can of Monster energy drink for the 30 minutes I was there. Cross the bridge and on the corner on the left is a sensational coffee shop. Turn right and take photo opportunities at the quaint cafe next to the cycling repair shop Essential viewing when in Trondheim on way to Nidaros Cathedral - which is stunning in itself!!!!

Beautiful area. Coffee shop on the corner on your left is excellent. Superb home made summer lemonade. Straight ahead up an incline leads to the fortress which is a complete and utter waste of time. Grab a riverside beer and get picture postcard views of the stilted wharf houses and Nid river walkway
