rockheim

it gives you the different groups from the fifthees and til today. There are lots of things you can do. Try to play all the instruments, sing at song, write a song, do some tagging at the brickwall,and lots of other things. They have and ok restaurant.

Worth the trip. I was very sceptical in the beginning. I mean, how exciting can a rock history museum be? But there are many things to do here including travelling back in time to the 60's on a "bus ride" through the countryside! I recommend this for families (mabye not for very small children) and individuals.

I went here with some trepidation. A museum of Norwegian pop and rock music? That'll keep me entertained for 3.4 minutes, I thought. I left, against my will, 2 hours later. This is one of the cleverest, most interactive and fascinating museums I have ever visited. The sound effects in different rooms are superb as are the 'mock ups' of a 1960s living room. You can try an electric guitar, drums & etc, listen to different instruments and read all about bands from the 1950s onwards. And stand in a cleverly recrafted wooden hut listening to Viking heavy metal in surroundings that make you feel decidedly uncomfortable-perhaps it's the empty beer bottles, animal heads and various objects d'art that give are spooky. The simulated drive around the Lofoten coast, listening to 1970s and 1960s Norwegian rock is a masterpiece. And of course there is A-ha, where would the world be without A-ha? It was enough for me to take a nostalgic trip 25 years back to the days when VW Golf GTIs and Peugeout 205s populated the roads and you didn't count without a brick sized mobile phone...I am determined to bring my family here to Trondheim specially for this museum; I just hope they enjoy it as much as I did!

I came here to kill some time before my flight home and thought it was fantastic! The top floor is a time tunnel with an interactive room for each decade from 1950 to 2000. There's also a black metal room which was right up my street! The exhibits are in English as well as Norwegian and the staff are really friendly and there to help you get the most out of the interactive rooms. The floor below had a load of interactive displays where you could learn guitar or try hip-hop. Unfortunately by that time a school trip had caught up with me and I didn't get to try much!

This place is a cool place to pop by for å look! It is an inter-active music museum in modern locations near the town centre. It is spacious and new, but you do have to share the activities and the sound with every person who is there, so you should be well rested when you visit.

This is a great special topic museum! One of the best, most interactive museums I have ever visited. I went here just to kill some time after seeing it advertised on a flyer, and had a wonderful time. Now, I must say, I had very very little knowledge about the music history in Norway but definitely had fun learning during my visit. The exhibits are interactive and fun. The museum guides are available to provide you with information about the music, artists, and how to operate the different exhibits (and are quite attractive, which doesn't hurt). Fun museum and definitely worth a visit.

Fun and better than expected. Cool interactive history of rock from 1960. Close to Clarion hotel. Nice view of the harbour.

If you are a fan of popular music at all, you'll probably find this museum as much fun as we did. Honestly, we weren't expecting much, but were really surprised and delighted. Everything is interactive and sometimes like a big puzzle--you could either figure out how to "trigger" the exhibits or there was a helpful guide to show you. We knew about some Norwegian artists but learned about many more and have a list for some downloads later. There weren't many people there, which I think made our experience better; if there were tons of kids, might have been a touch annoying when it came to the rooms where you could play instruments or remix songs. Free lockers for coats, which was nice.

The best interactive museum I`ever visited!And very helpfull guides to help you get started!We all enjoyed our stay

Great and interesting museum for adults (above 40), and if you get a rock consert - go for it ! Great musicians. However, not for the disabled. Standing in the consert hall, and a lot of stears. (However, lifts available)

We spent two hours at Rockheim and had a pretty nice time. The exposition on the top floor will tell you a lot about Norwegian music, and it's a great opportunity to discover some interesting artists. The restaurant on the 5th floor offers really great views over the fjord and Munkholmen. A very nice place to visit!

Rockheim is a national center for Norwegian popular music from 1950 up to today. We only styed there for one hour, which is to little. Need at least 3 hours to enjoy the collection. I guess you will enjoy it more if you are a Norwegian as most music are not known outside Norway. Well, I guess A-ha and their collection of Black Metal is unique.

We went to Rockheim on a Thursday. Easily accessed by a 10 minute walk from downtown. WE got there around 2 pm. Not too busy at all. We were able to enjoy each of the exhibits pretty much on our own, There were groups that went through but seemed to move on through faster than us. We did require the staff/guides to explain each of the exhibits. They are all quite interactive and the technology was incredible. The music spanned from the 50's until today with all genre's being covered.

You do not have to live in Norway to enjoy this tremendous tribute to Norwegian rock and roll. You just have to love music. We thoroughly enjoyed the Rockheim. We enjoyed the music, the sound stage (in fact the interactivity of nearly all the exhibits), and the setting. The temporary exhibit regarding Patty Boyd, Eric Clapton and George Harrison was very well done. When we return to Trondheim, we will make the Rockheim part of our visit again.

Went there on a concert which was fun and intimate. Would recommend this if you find an event that suits you.
