Wasn’t quite sure what to expect but it is a very comprehensive museum of polar life with lots and lots of artefacts and stuffed animals. Spread across 3 floors it can get a little tight especially when tours come through. Enjoyed reading about polar life. I would recommend wearing sensible footwear especially as some surfaces have not been gritted and in fact a gent slipped outside as we were leaving

This is a house museum focused mainly on period polar hunting methods, past arctic explorers of the region, and a contemporary exhibit depicting a queer narrative of the same. The hunting section can be a bit of a shock considering most people don't think about that kind of thing, much less look at it all that often. Overall, I enjoyed the museum, it's a straightforward presentation of the realities of historical exploration, subsistence living, and the commercial business of living in the arctic.

Really excellent museum of polar expeditions and life. The museum was full of items from polar expeditions, stuffed animals, the story of Roald Amundsen. It was a great exhibition for all ages. One not to be missed.

We loved the little museum, full of original exhibits and information. It's very entertaining with all the scenarios. You have to take your time for all the little hidden treasures in the scenes, the original diaries and don't forget to step into the hut and have a look, how they lived, if you are brave enough to face the grumpy Husky or was it a wolf? Dive into history with the original audio here and there. We really recommend a visit. Thanks to the wonderful staff, cheers from the Lutz-family

Interesting to learn about polar expeditions and wildlife hunting. Not great if you have small kids as mostly reading and looking at exhibits. Lots of stuffed wildlife - seals, polar bears, musk ox etc

Visited during a trip with friends to Tromso for a few days. Greeted well and given the guide in English which made following the trail a little easier (given 2 for 4 of us). Although a few signed are in English it would be difficult to follow without the guide. Some of the tour was interesting and clearly passionate about the heritage of the area. Nice way to pass an hour or so in the beautiful city.

I was so surprised by this museum. We went in mostly to escape some awful weather, but I am so glad that we did. It's definitely worth the visit and so reasonably priced. We ended up spending hours in there, the information sheets given to us were so detailed and everything was so interesting. They have some fascinating displays including a walrus skeleton which blew my mind!

So much to look at, so much to see. Very interesting collection of old artefacts from a bygone era of Scandinavian hunting. Great value for money and I’d highly recommend, suitable for all ages.

Really interesting museum covering the history of polar exploration and hunting and currently a small room on overlooked LGBT history in polar exploration. A guide book was provided in many languages with lots of interesting information for each exhibit room, I happily spent a couple of hours here looking around everything and admiring the resilience and perseverance of the explorers and inhabitants of the arctic. Perfect place to spend a few hours between other activities or when the weather is poor

It was a bit expensive for what it was. I didn’t realize there would be such a focus on trapping and hunting instead of things I found more interesting such as details of the Sami culture and how expeditions interacted with the local environment. Also because we spoke English it was hard to access the information
