Mascha CollierAugust 17, 2014Excellent museum. The ship is impressive. Lots to look at and read! A few hands-on things too. Do see Gjoa ship and film in the next hall. Kept 2 adults and 3 boys easily entertained for over 2 hours.Upvote11Downvote
Yarn LamFebruary 10, 2019Better than the maritime museum next door. Interesting and interactive exhibits and you get to explore the entire inside of the ships. Good for 2 hours here!

Despina StagakiApril 24, 2016well presented the story of fram&gjoa polar ships that you can actually see. Do not miss the introductory video at the beginning for better experience of the adventures of the great explorersUpvote4Downvote
Jason MaApril 16, 2017Extraordinarily informative and detailed! Lots of exhibits about Amundsen's expeditions to the South and North Poles, as well as other explorers, including Nansen and Scott.

Jesse LiukkonenJuly 14, 2015Best museum I've visited for a while! Lots of interesting stuff to see and experiment in a compact space. I love it how the whole exhibition was built around the ship.UpvoteDownvote
Dmitry BigunyakAugust 4, 2013A lot to see, even more to read! Very interesting museum over all. Tip: don't forget to see the documentary and the Gjøa ship in the second hall.Upvote3Downvote
Cenker KöseJune 3, 2018Museum of “Fram”, the most famous and the strongest wooden ship built in Norway for polar research. It’s very nice experience to walk in / around the Fram.UpvoteDownvote
Marjorie CAugust 3, 2015Great museum to visit - you get to explore the actual ship and not just look at artefacts behind glass windows. Get 10% off entrance with a hop on hop off ticket.UpvoteDownvote- FilipMay 22, 2015Best museum to explore with Oslo Pass. Fram Polar Ship is exciting. Imagine you become polar explorer for a while. Hope you don't need doctor - find his room and his equipment to check why...UpvoteDownvote
Damien RouéMay 24, 2015Very interesting museum with everything you need to know about the Fram ship and Norwegian expeditions to Arctica. You can even enter physically inside the Fram ship.UpvoteDownvote
Jess KellyJune 13, 2015I like this museum, however, and this may sound silly, the information isn't condensed enough. It's not very interactive and there is a lot of reading. Exploring the ship is cool though.UpvoteDownvote
Santiago R.February 23, 2016The best museum in oslo, dont miss the cold room in the second floor.

Jenna AndersonSeptember 27, 2014Very nice museum. Gives you a real feel for the polar expeditions. We are from Canada, and seeing early glimpses of the Canadian North was very neat!UpvoteDownvote
marcus thomassenJanuary 20, 2012The museum is totally renovated, and is surely Oslo's best tourist attraction! The ship itself is breathtaking. The kids loved "the dark walk", a polar simulator, freezing fun!!!Upvote1Downvote
h w ø ø wNovember 17, 2011The Fram Museum houses the world's most famous polar ship, the Fram. Come on board and join the Norwegian explorers on their fantastic expeditions. Website : http://www.frammuseum.noUpvote5Downvote
Alexandre BenincáSeptember 22, 2017Interesting museum, it's hard to believe the things that this ship has experienced. The inner part is the best.UpvoteDownvote
Mike BNovember 9, 2014Loved the Fram Musset! Used the Oslo pass and got in. Check out the inside of the ship, it's bigger than you think!UpvoteDownvote
Luis de AvendañoAugust 20, 2016Leave your outdoor clothes in the lockers. It's very warm in the museum and very stuffy inside the ship.UpvoteDownvote
BeaApril 3, 2015This museum is definitely worth visiting, even to only take a walk on the ship! Amazing experience.UpvoteDownvote
Priya TungrusAugust 5, 2017Fantastic! Get the Oslo pass if you are going to do lots of the museums.UpvoteDownvote
Oleksii AntonenkoMay 7, 2017Highly recommended if you like the history of Vikings. Not much to do in Oslo anyway.UpvoteDownvote

Burçak MadranSeptember 26, 2017Too much text to read ! I do not understand how Trip Advisor choose this museum "the best of Norway"UpvoteDownvote
Débora FrançaSeptember 28, 2015It's a good museum. About the polar ship. If you went to the Vasa before, you won't be impressed. And if I had to chose between Frame and Viking Museum, I would go to the vikingsUpvote1Downvote1- Maximilian StoiberSeptember 8, 2017Average museum, very broad. The Kon-Tiki museum next door is a lot more interesting!UpvoteDownvote
Vladislav ShumilovDecember 29, 2014Главный экспонат - полярное судно "Фрам". Оно было построено в 1892 как самый прочный корабль в мире, ходило к Северному и Южному полюсам. Вы сможете подняться на борт и осмотреть судно и фотографии.Upvote2Downvote
