Description
The Troll Museum is the only museum in Bergen where famous Norwegian fairy tales and legends are brought to life using the latest digital technologies.
Welcome to the Troll Museum in Bergen - the largest museum in Norway dedicated entirely to trolls and fairy tales. Centrally located in Bergen city, we aim to bring you closer to the magic of Norwegian folk beliefs and the creatures that populate them.
Our museum is a unique blend of detailed handmade art, traditional storytelling, and modern digital technologies. The exhibits incorporate augmented reality features that superimpose moving elements and sound on the art you can see. In addition, the museum is equipped with immersive technologies, holographic fans, and interactive elements, all of which expand on the physical exhibit and bring you further into the world of fairy tales. This translates into a unique museum experience where you can dip your toes into Norwegian folklore and discover how the idea of trolls has changed over time.
Our Norse mythology section and Hall of Trolls will take you on an insightful journey about all things troll, from the very beginning. Find out what the universe looked like according to the Vikings, read the fairy tales that Norwegian parents have been telling their children for centuries, and see what trolls look like in their natural habitats.
No less mysterious are the creatures that live in the depths of Norwegian fjords or the secretive beings known as Huldrefolket. You can find out more about who they are, where they live, and why they are so valued in our marine exhibit, Hidden Beneath the Waves, and the dedicated Huldrefolket hall.
The museum also has a number of board games and creativity zones where you can have some fun, as well as a small library stocked with books of fairy tales and mythology in several different languages for those who want to learn more.
The Troll Museum is open every day at Øvre Dreggsallmenningen, 6, from 09:00 to 19:00.
