The Kon-Tiki Museum
The Kon-Tiki Museum houses a range of boats and artefacts from Thor Heyerdahl's expeditions. Here you can see the original Kon-Tiki raft (1947) with a 30 foot whale shark underneath, statues and a secret family cave from Easter Island (1956), the papyrus boat Ra II (1970), and an exciting collection of archaeological finds from Easter Island, East Polynesia, Galapagos and Peru. And, why not try out the interactive touch screen with CD-ROM facilities? Or visit the cinema with its non-stop showings?
The Kon-Tiki Museum can arrange birthday parties for children outside the museum's opening hours. It is also possible to host events (evenings) for groups up to 300 inside the museum and up to 500 outside.
CLOSED: 1 January, 17 May, 24-25 and 31 December.
Free entrance with the Oslo Pass.
