Rustkammeret

Rustkammeret is a military museum in the Archbishop's Palace that displays weapons, uniforms, and military equipment spanning multiple centuries up to World War II. The collection is arranged across several exhibition halls and provides a comprehensive overview of the region's military heritage.

The museum was founded in 1826 as Den historiske våbensal and was first housed in military storage buildings. A fire in 1983 prompted its move to the current palace location, where it was subsequently reorganized.

The museum displays items that document the period of German occupation, including photographs and personal accounts from people in the region.

The museum is located near Nidaros Cathedral and offers guided tours in several languages. The building features wheelchair accessibility throughout, allowing visitors with mobility limitations to explore all areas.

The top floor contains an extensive collection of resistance materials that reopened in 1990. Crown Prince Harald attended the reopening ceremony of this section.
