Tromsø Museum – Universitetsmuseet
At Tromsø Museum – Universitetsmuseet, discover the archeology, geology, and zoology of the region. The site also reveals church art and the traditional and modern life of Sami, an indigenous Finno-Ugric people. The well-displayed and informative exhibits educate visitors about the consequences of global warming and the role of fire. Check out the replica of a "terrella" or "northern lights machine"--an early invention which creates the sense of the aurora borealis on a miniature scale. Look for the traditional Sami sod house in the garden, and stop by the gift shop for a selection of books about the aurora borealis. The museum also houses a small display on the Vikings. Put Tromsø Museum – Universitetsmuseet and other Tromso attractions into our Tromso travel planning website, and watch your holiday take shape.

First place in visited in Tromso. During my visit there was exibition about the northern lights which was informative. There are many articles/pieces available there on the Sámi people, about their life, culture. This also a best place to buy souvenir (cheapest in the town)

Great museum for those interested in geology, norwegian history, sami history, viking history, effects of WWII and some relics from churches
