Andreas GerolemouAugust 19, 2014A great museum covering many expeditions, not only the Peruvian journey. The exposition to Easter Island is particularly interesting. Great for families and kids but also for the adventurous at heart.Upvote6Downvote
Débora FrançaSeptember 29, 2015Nice museum with a nice history. Impressive statues! Across the street from Fram Museum. If you are at the island, should definitely visit it.

BeaApril 3, 2015The exhibition is nice and seeing the raft used to travel across the Pacific Ocean is breathtaking. There is also the Oscar won by the documentary. The museum is free with the Oslo Pass.Upvote4Downvote- Jason MaApril 16, 2017Super cool to see the original Kon-Tiki raft. Much larger than I expected! A great museum dedicated to the amazing expeditions of Thor Heyerdahl.

Marius WatzNovember 2, 2018Charmingly corny museum dedicated to the voyages of Norwegian hero Thor Heyerdahl. Get a combo ticket and check out the Fram ship next door, too.UpvoteDownvote- Maximilian StoiberSeptember 9, 2017Very interesting story well told in this museum. Great experience, highly recommended! (unlike the Fram museum next door which isn't nearly as great)UpvoteDownvote
Jenna AndersonSeptember 27, 2014Thor Heyerdahl was an amazing person, and seeing the rafts makes his journeys so immediate. It really gets you on the journey with him. I like the layout, particularly the whale under the boat!UpvoteDownvote
Pedro PimentaJune 22, 2015I had Oslo Pass so I really don't know if the price is worthy or not. I liked to read about the expedition journey by raft. There were some interesting and funny histories in how they survive.UpvoteDownvote
David HiltscherOctober 23, 2018Beautiful museum. Very impressive. Played well for small kids. Good for a 1 hour visit. Well worth the Frammuseet combo ticket.UpvoteDownvote
Anelize PereiraNovember 3, 2013Really cool, but I strongly recommend to watch the movie before visit the museum. Is better to have some ideas before get in touch with all information the museum provides.Upvote2Downvote

Felix YAugust 29, 2017Dont skip the visit to Fram museum just next door! Well worth the access fee, or get the Oslo city pass that covers both.UpvoteDownvote
Dmitry BigunyakJuly 28, 2013Quite an interesting museum to visit. Especially when saw the documentary and the recent Norwegian film (2012).Upvote1Downvote
Barbora KreuzerovaAugust 29, 2016you can save your money with oslo card. Or buy tickets together with fram museum - its cheaper

Denise HAugust 16, 2013Go on the same day you visit the Fram and the Viking Ship museum. Norwegians are the kings of the sea!UpvoteDownvote- Maximilian StoiberSeptember 8, 2017Lovely museum to spend an hour in, awesome content and great storytelling.UpvoteDownvote
Michael Fox-RabinovitzSeptember 14, 2017Houses two absolutely amazing ships, ra and kon tiki, absolute mustUpvoteDownvote
pluckerAugust 4, 2012You can pre-buy ferry tickets here for NOK30. On the boat it costs NOK50. No other museums on Bygdøy peninusla seem to sell ferry tickets. We learned the hard way.UpvoteDownvote- Berg MoeSeptember 1, 2017A must for everyone! Don't need to be a tourist to enjoy this 😁🎶UpvoteDownvote

Geert VerbauwhedeSeptember 5, 2014Heyerdahl was an amazing adventurer who brought also new scientific insightsUpvoteDownvote
Burçak MadranSeptember 26, 2017İnteresting indeed but too much text to read and too artificial scenery; not really necessaryUpvoteDownvote
Doug WMay 9, 2018Disappointing for the price. Mostly story boards with pics you could get on Wikipedia. Not much from the actual voyages themselves.UpvoteDownvote
Vladislav ShumilovDecember 29, 2014В музее демонстрируются плоты и другие свидетельства путешествий Тура Хейердала. А также экспонаты с острова Пасхи, включая статую 10 м в высоту и реконструкцию пещеры 30 м в глубину.Upvote2Downvote
Aline BrandãoMarch 27, 2017Museu pequeno (dá pra ver em 1h) mas com histórias fascinantes. Recomendo também para colecionadores de bichinhos de pelúcia exóticos! Tem tubarão-martelo, caranguejo...

Anna LevinaMay 4, 2015Отличный музей, хоть и маленький. Детям интересно будет пройти сквозь пещеру и посмотреть макет подводного мира, а взрослые могут увидеть документальный фильм об отважных путешественниках.Upvote1Downvote- Pablo DellicJuly 21, 2016Esse museu vale a pena conhecer pois essa expedição foi realmente muito louca , apesar de ser um museu particular e pequeno , tem muita historia e conhecimento pra quem gosta de aventuras .UpvoteDownvote
Alexander KorneyevJuly 31, 2018Под одной крышей Кон-Тики и Ра. Прикосновение к легенде. Оскароносный фильм Кон-Тики лучше потом посмотреть в Интернете

Daniel De La CruzFebruary 22, 2015Un lugar curioso si estás interesado en las expediciones del explorador Thor Heyerdahl, aunque no tiene mucho que ver con NoruegaUpvote1Downvote
