The Polar Museum tells the history of Norwegian Arctic trapping, sealing and polar expeditions in protected 19th-century customs warehouses on the harbour in Tromsø. It opened on 18 June 1978, fifty years after Roald Amundsen left Tromsø on his last flight, and shows a trapper's hut from Svalbard and material from the expeditions of Amundsen and Nansen.
Tromsø University Museum, now the Arctic University Museum of Norway, was founded in 1872 and has belonged to the University of Tromsø since 1977. Its main building at the southern end of Tromsøya, about 2.5 km from the centre, has exhibitions on Sami culture, Arctic nature, geology and archaeology, plus changing displays.
