NTNU University Museum

The NTNU University Museum contains extensive collections of archaeological artifacts, church items, zoological specimens, botanical samples, and geological materials totaling 906,000 objects.

The institution originated in 1760 when Johan Ernst Gunnerus, Gerhard Schøning, and Peter Frederik Suhm established a collection through the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters.

The museum exhibits provide insights into the Viking Age, the Catholic Middle Ages in Trondheim, and the Sámi cultural heritage through archaeological findings and historical objects.

The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM and weekends from 11 AM to 4 PM, with a dedicated shop operating weekdays from 10 AM to 4 PM.

The National Laboratory for Dating within the museum conducts specialized carbon-14 analysis on archaeological and historical materials from across Norway and international locations.
