We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Folk Museum - the only museum we visited in Trondheim. We arrived right on time for the daily 14:30 tour in English where a guide dressed in traditional attire took us to some of the oldest sites on the property, including the 2 churches, ruins of a castle, and an old family home. He explained the history of these places and gave us glimpses into how it was in the past. After that, we had just enough time to walk through the folktale/fairytale path on the way to the animal feeding at 16:00. We saw the pigs, rabbits, chickens, and cows, and got to feed the goats ourselves. The staff were all very friendly and available to answer any questions. We spent 2.5 hours there but easily could’ve spent 3 or more hours. Make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes since it’s spread out outdoors with many different buildings to visit and learn about.

Nice museum in nature, you can see old samish houses, small town from first part of 20th century, typicall norwegian houses with grass on the roof and the Svereborg castle. You can also feed their animals, try old clothes etc. In some houses there are guides who tell you the story about the house.

Thought the folk museum was great! Wish we’d had closer to three hours to spend there. They offer guided tours of some of the oldest buildings, there’s a town square set up with examples of old dentist offices, apothecary, and hat shop. There was also a good exhibit on life in Trondheim over the last few hundred years organized by phase of life (childhood, teenage years, etc).

What a lovely experience! In spite of the eclectic weather it was still incredibly enjoyable to see these buildings which lend themselves to Norwegian history. The guided tour was informative and the person who presented it spoke English very well, which was good for myself as I don't speak Norwegian (yet).

One of must see if You are in Trondheim more than one day. Really interesting place and very kind stuff. Just missing an information at some of buildings. For example, what they were used for. I definitely recommend to visit it.
