I have since childhood always admired the adventurous spirit of Thor Heyerdahl and so it was a fascinating experience going through a museum that documents his adventures.

Enjoyed the story and appreciated being able to see the rafts in person. Felt like there could have been more shown from Thor’s life. But great exhibition nonetheless
