"Norwegian Coastal Voyage Part 3" Trondheim by geekgrrl

This is Part 3 of the Norwegian Coastal Voyage. Part 1 is Geiranger. Part 2 is Molde. This part of the cruise is from Trondheim to Svolvaer. Our first stop in Trondheim was the Ringve Music Museum. I was not expecting much, but it was 'wonderful, amazing, etc'. It is a centuries old farm with the buildings made into the museum. The main house contains thousands of old instruments - pianos, clavichords, harpsichords, flutes, violins, drums, and some I had never seen before. They also had music artifacts such as a lock of Franz Liszt hair, a mold of Chopin's hand, etc. We could only go by guided tour, so I didn’t get to see nearly everything I would have wanted to have seen. A day alone in the museum with the curator would have made me very happy.
