After receiving an audio guide (multiple languages available) went down into the museum to learn more about the mining history in Roros. Besides the very informative audio guide, the miniature mining models were entertaining and explained very well how the mining business worked in those days. Definitely worth a visit!

The smelter museum was very well done. There are lots of scale models showing the workings of the smelter and mines over the years. We were given audio tapes in English which were very well done - lots of good information and options to hear even more at times if you chose. The staff were very helpful when we checked in, because our joint tickets (with the Olavsgruva mine) had been taken at the mine and not returned. The staff at the smelter believed us, and let us in. When we were there, it looked like the museum could have benefited from two staff on duty - they seemed too busy to be able to handle the traffic of the gift shop and admission.The Olavsgruva mine was also very interesting. Not well signed - no signs about the mine at all - don't get distracted by the old mine buildings along the road - follow the signs to Olavsgruva. Lots of stairs and gradients in the mine itself. Our guide was very knowledgeable - had a lot of good stories to tell.

This museum gives you a very good insight of the history of Rorøs town. It is well built and takes you into the past and the struggle citizens must have had during the mining time. Tip: You have to ask for a guide if you do not speak or understand norwegian and english.

Don't miss the numerous models which clearly explain the entire copper mining to ingot process from its 16th century beginnings until its bankruptcy in in 1977. The clothing displays and audio guide were excellent.

We visited the Smelthytta outside the main season, so no guides were available yet. Even so, the introduction video running every half hour gives you a nice intro to the copper mining history in Røros and the background for this site, the melting house. After the video you have to study the very nice models on your own. I found the descriptions very informative and well presented. Norwegian (well, the Røros-dialect to be precise - a nice touch for norwegian speaking vistors) and English all over. The most interesting part was all the models of the mine, all working and showing the fantastic engineering. This is probably most interesting for the technology-interested visitors amongst us. The last huge room is the actual place where the melting pots were. Without guidance this was more like a relict of an industrial hall. Some nice boards inform you about the melting process. The "Slegghaugen" (the huge mountains of residue from the melting process) are just outside, and gives you some ideas of the huge work-effort that men has endured for 333 years! All in all - well worth a visit!

Allow 2 good hours to visit this museum and buy a combined ticket with a visit to the mine itself (do check the tour times to the mine to avoid timetable conflicts). The displays are varied and, from the charts to the models extremely informative and explain well what is often quite technical. The models especially bring to life the workings of the mine. The wall diagrams show how copper supply and demand was, and is still, affected by world events.

If ever you wanted to learn about copper smelting, this is the place to come. The museum is situated next to the river which runs through the centre of the village. It was where copper was melted for over 300 years, starting way back in 1646. In the main exhibition hall are a number of intricate working models which explain how the copper mines worked. There are horse driven capstans, trolleys being pulled along tracks, elaborate lift mechanisms all crafted in meticulous detail. Beyond this you get to see the huge former smelting house, with evidence of the former ovens and giant instruments used to pour the molten copper. It is 54kr entry.

We did both Smeltehytta (downtown Røros) and Olavsgruva (a few miles away - need a car). Great experience and we learnt a lot about the mining town and world heritage site.

Copper and mining is the name of the game. This town is one of the UNESCO Wold Heritage based on the mining history. The museum shows the history from several perspectives. Enjoy!
