Histoire
The origins of Trondheim Art Museum date back to 1845 when I.C.
Dahl initiated the formation of a local art association aiming to promote art appreciation in Trondheim, then home to about 13,000 people.
The collection was formally established in 1864 as Det Faste Galleri (The Permanent Gallery), initially housed in the royal residence Stiftsgården and later in various buildings including those owned by Trondhjems Brændevinssamlag.
The collection grew significantly after World War I, often through art prize competitions, and now includes over 5,000 works.
The museum institution as it exists today was founded in 1997 to maintain and develop the collection.
The main building in Bispegata was constructed in 1930 and underwent restoration in 2012 to preserve its original design and improve environmental controls.
The second venue, TKM Gråmølna, was established in 2008 to expand exhibition space for contemporary art.
