Great museum! Really well done. A little bit of the history behind the Trolls and description of the different troll species. Also touching in on the artwork and music (Edvard Grieg) Great place to visitSome knowledge of Norse mythology helps you understand and feel Norway better, so I highly recommend you to visit here.

Tor K

What a lovely unique place to visit for young and old alike. We spent a good couple of hours here and there's plenty of interesting folklore to enjoy. Lots of interactive exhibits to enjoy and the games hall was great fun. Good to be a child again for a while.
