Perspective Museum

LOVED this museum. They currently have (until Jan 17 2027) an amazing show about the life and work of a Sara Fabricius who also wrote under the pseudonym Cora Sandel. The exhibition (over 2 floors) highlights cultural-historical objects from the artist’s own life, and the exhibition is introduced with a biographical cartoon strip by Anneli Furmark. She lived in Tromso in her early adulthood before moving to Paris. But she later returned to Norway and passed away in 1974 at age 93. This is the second of three exhibitions about the author and visual artist Cora Sandel/Sara Fabricius (1880–1974). NOTE: There is a mural on a building across the street from the museum that I think may be honoring the artist.

A review on google said that it's free and it's actually KR80. As a non artistic person I found it a good spot to spend 20mins in an building. Plus it's perfect to enjoy the coffee just around the corner after visiting the museum.

I mean, can you really fault a free museum??? When I visited they had an exhibit about religion which is not really my thing (like, at all) but I enjoyed looking at the pictures- such awesome quality! Then upstairs they had a lot of shots from Tromso 50-60 years ago which was really cool to see.

This is a photography museum. The exhibitions on display when I visited were Red Utopia, which was about the presence of communism in countries around the world even today. The photographer does a very good job of showing their stories. Homo Religiosus was another one which, as the name suggests, was about various religions, their evolution and it's importance in people's lives. Overall, I liked the presentations; and since the entry to this museum is free, there is no harm in visiting it.

Wonderful curator work blending photography projects ‘Red Utopia’, an exhibition of Jan Banning (Dutch) capturing supporters of Communism at various locations around the globe with local Tromsø historical photography by world renown, home-grown Tromsø artist, Knut Stokmo. An additional social enhancement weaved in called ´Homo Religiosus ‘ highlighting all the religions active locally in Tromsø Norway. Exhibitions which triggers the deep thought of the individual visitor!

Fantastic little museum to visit in Tromso. We went when a thought-provoking photography exhibit was on, and then upstairs there was an exhibit on a local author. Well worth an hour of your time in Tromso.

An enjoyable tour of this museum which has frequently changing exhibits. For my visit was of Cora Sandal's work (artist and author) from Tromsø. It was a thought provoking exhibition with lots of intriguing artworks. A particular highlight for me was the listening room where we could hear extracts of the written works. This is no longer free entry, unless a student. I am pleased my student card meant this did not cost us lots, as we are not knowledge about this artist and author beforehand so arrived out of curiosity instead of love. The museum is over 3 floors so if stairs are impossible then maybe ask if they have a solution before paying. They have toilets (free) and coat lockers with keys outside in the lobby and by the toilets inside. Enjoyed it. We are unlikely to need to visit this exhibit twice but would return to see a different experience next trip.

An interesting but small museum. On the first floor there was a very pretty and interesting photography exhibition from the arctic. On the second and third floor there was an exhibition of a famous Norwegian author.
