The story

Perspektivet Museum is a foundation in Tromsø established in 1996, with the aim of imparting and developing knowledge as a basis for understanding connections in life, creating tolerance for cultural diversity, and contributing alternative perspectives on culture and society. The main collection of the museum is located in Tromsø in the building which was the home of the famous Norwegian author Sara Fabricius better known by her pseudonym Cora Sandel. When it was established, Troms Folkemuseum and the collections at Tromsø City Museum were included in the new foundation. In addition to the main building in the center of Tromsø, the museum owns two open-air facilities with a total of 24 antiquarian buildings that are part of the summer season's dissemination program. The scope and content of the collections, therefore, reflect the museum history of Tromsø and its surroundings from the 1950s onwards. The museum is part of the national museum network and participates in networks for minorities and cultural diversity and in networks for contemporary documentation and research. The two open-air facilities include Folkeparken (former Troms Folkemuseum) in Tromsøya Island and Straumen gård in Straumsbukta on Kvaløya island. Dissemination of photography within the documentary genre is an important field of activity at the museum, which forms part of an international collaboration. In 2017, the museum received 25 paintings painted by Cora Sandel as a testamentary gift from Sandel's son Erik Jönsson.
