This small public gallery is just opposite the tourist office and is free to get in - a very rare thing in Tromso! The Nordnorsk collection is over three floors with temporary exhibitions on the ground floor and upstairs a good selection of 19th century North Norway landscapes and paintings showing the life of the people and the amazing local...

A total mix of styles, so you're likely to find some pictures that you like. A lot of raging seas and mountains. In some, you can spot typical clothing from the past. Entry is free.

A nice art museum with free entry in the middle of the city. Some great works of art and a few more mediocre. Highlights were some Munch & Sinding pieces and some fantastic Norwegian landscapes. We went in winter so several exhibitions spaces were being changed over. Still given the free entry it was a great experience.

We had seen this in Lonely Planet and based on their feedback, decided this was a must. The welcome was warm, the quality of the English Language hand out was excellent and allowed us to really understand each painting on show. The style was broad and the quality and lay out excellent. Adding to this, the entry and lockers for... More

Very nice, free, gallery in the centre of Tromso. Some great paintings and sculpture to give insight into the Norwegian psyche, and how the Norse legends and wildness of the far north have shaped the people. Good for 1 - 2 hours if you like art, half an hour if you don't!

North Norwegian Art Museum is right opposite the Tourist Info center. We had quality time there. On the 3rd floor, visitors can paint, draw, or just play around with the paint brushes. This was something new to us! My daughter and my wife had a gala time showing off their skills. They have a very decent collection spread across 3... More
