About Us
The Troll Museum in Tromsø is the first and only troll museum in Norway, created using modern Augmented Reality (AR) technology.
Here you will get acquainted with Norwegian fairy tales and legends, get hands-on with AR technology, and have a great time exploring Norse folklore.
There is fun to be had for everyone – both adults and children, tourists and residents of Tromsø alike.
Attention!
Due to the Rakettnatt music festival that takes place 22/8-24/8 at Prostneset, our opening hours will be a bit shorter on the following days:
Thursday 22/8: 9.00-14.00
Friday 23/8: 9.00-14.00
Saturday 24/8: 9.00-14.00
We welcome everyone to visit the trolls during these hours and wish you all a great festival experience afterwards!
What to expect
Our small and cozy museum is presented in two halls: the road of trolls and the home of the sea troll. We also have a library and a games room.
In our estimation, it will take you just about an hour to slowly familiarize yourself with all the content in the exhibits, check out the augmented reality and play some of our games.
Fairy tales
Let the stories that Norwegian children grow up with transport you into the world of fantasy and magic, kings and heroes, trolls and monsters.

What is Augmented Reality?
This is a new, rapidly developing technology that allows us to add additional objects to the existing world using a phone or tablet. With the help of this technology, the exhibits in our museum come to life.
