Perspektivet Museum, Tromsø

The perspective museum is a foundation in Tromsø created in 1996, with the purpose of conveying and developing knowledge as a basis for understanding of contexts in existence, creating tolerance for cultural diversity and contributing alternative perspectives on culture and society. The house was home to the Norwegian author Cora Sandel.

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.

By the creation, the Troms folk museum and the collections at Tromsø city museum were admitted to the new foundation. In addition to the main building in the center of Tromsø, the Museum owns two outdoor facilities with a total of 24 antiquarian buildings included in the summer season's dissemination program. The scope and content of the collections therefore reflect Tromsø and region's museum history from the 1950s and in the future.

In 2004, the museum opened in Storgata 95, a protected patrisier house from 1838 as from 1911 and 90 years to come as the people's house. In 2005, the PEM owner of the wooden building was located north of the pedestrian street.

The dissemination of photography in the documentary genre is an important business field at the museum that is part of an international cooperation.

In 2017, the museum was 25 paintings painted by Cora Sandel as a testamentary gift after Sandel's son Erik Jönsson.
