The Norwegian Deaf Museum, known as Norsk Døvemuseum in Norwegian, is a significant cultural institution located in Trondheim, Norway. It operates as a division of the Trøndelag Folkemuseum, contributing to the rich cultural heritage of the region.
Location and Architecture of the Museum
The museum is housed in the Rødbygget, a building designed by Christian Heinrich Grosch. This building, constructed in 1855, holds the distinction of being the first Neo-Gothic structure in Trondheim.
Historical Significance of the Building
The building that now houses the museum was originally a school for the deaf, known as Throndhjems Døvstummeinstitut and later as Trondheim offentlige skole for døve. This institution was founded by Andreas Christian Møller, adding a layer of historical significance to the site.
