Very interesting museum and worth watching the documentary in the cinema to get a real feel of the voyage. Easy to spend a couple of hours here.

We visited here following our trip to the Fram seeing as it was next door and we had free entrance with the Oslo pass. Museum was very informative with great exhibits and lot of reading, however much preferred the Fram.

Small museum, a lot of reading and nothing of Viking history. A little far from Oslo Town but it has to be one of your point of interest when you visit Oslo.

Not very busy when we went (early afternoon on a dreary Friday in October half term). Very informative & very interesting. Everything was written out in English as well as a video of the explorers.

For a museum that basically just has two boats, it was surprisingly fascinating! I think you need to be interested in reading the signage to get the most out of this. Otherwise, it'll take about ten minutes to look at everything and maybe another half hour watching the documentaries. There's an hour's worth of stuff to read, though, and it told a nuanced and interesting story.

This was a pleasant surprise! Kon-Tiki was the first book my Boo read abd he was excited to see the museum. I didn't know anything about it. This was very interesting and informative. The story of a Norwegian who couldn't swim but dedicated his life to proving the currents of the ocean. His journey was a documentary that won an academy award. Its a fascinating museum with the original Kon-Tiki raft on exhibit. There's lots to see here and two other museums in the area. Recommend a minimum of 3 hours possibly more.

Visited the Kon Tiki museum. Learned about the men and the ship they sailed. Full length video shows life on board and their landing in Polynesia. Explains how the ship was constructed, where they went and how they got there. Very informative. This museum also has a display of cruise ship models, the very first ships made from logs and the RA reed boats which sailed from Africa to the Caribbean islands in the 1970’s. This museum also requires about two hours to see everything.

We enjoyed seeing the original Kon-Tiki and Ra boats but did not find the rest of the museum as interesting. Also it was oddly laid out and we kept going the wrong way. As part of Oslo pass it was worth it but I think if we had paid full price we would have been disappointed.
