We are celebrating the Cultural Heritage Days 2026 with an open house and free admission to the exhibitions. A great opportunity to visit our anniversary exhibition Time Travel Tromsø!
September 12th 2026 11.00 -17.00
Storgata 95
In the exhibition Time Travel Tromsø, we have delved into the photo collection to find out what makes Tromsø the city it is today. The answer lies as much in large infrastructure projects like the Tromsø bridge and the establishment of UiT as in everyday life, music experiences at the youth house Tvibit and skiing in Tromsdalen. We have also found room for some glimpses from Perspektivet Museum’s own history.
Free admission and a cup of coffe
Curator Mari Hildung will be present at the exhibition for a pleasant chat about the historical images. We offer a cup of coffee!
The World Heritage Days will be celebrated from 5 to 13 September 2026 with the theme “Cultural Heritage in Danger”. How do we preserve our common cultural heritage – in a time when everything is changing? In a world characterized by the climate crisis, war, digital transformation and increased mobility, more and more cultural monuments and traditions are under threat.
Not only the physical traces – such as buildings, cultural landscapes and crafts – but also the intangible heritage: language, knowledge, stories and practices that bind societies together.
– What heritage do we risk losing?
– Who decides what should be preserved?
– How can local communities participate and take responsibility?
