Being the most famous wooden polar vessel in the world, Fram is a symbol of Norway's significant participation in the heroic age of exploration.

The museum also houses the Gjøa, the first ship through the Northwest Passage.

Fram Museum
The main exhibition in the Fram building has explanatory texts in ten languages and describes the three great Fram expeditions. In June 2013 we inaugurated our new Gjøa building, which is connected to the Fram with an underground tunnel. The centerpiece here is Gjøa, the first ship to navigate the whole of the Northwest Passage. There are brand new historical exhibitions on the expeditions of Gjøa and Maud, of the airplanes N24 and N25 as well as of the airship Norge, John Franklin's legendary expedition and those of Henry Larsen and Eivind Astrup. We also present current issues facing the High North such as polar bears, ice melting, gas and oil etc. There is a 116 seats cinema showing a polar introduction movie every fifteen minutes.

So cool that you can actually walk on two ships that have been to the poles. Interesting history displayed in a variety of ways. Well worth a visit.

Located on museum island and there is a regular ferry going back and to, so accessible. So much information and so much to see, I don't know where to start. Information and facts with photos and exhibits everywhere. The boat is amazing and you can go down below deck but the steps are steep. There is a lift to all floors so accessible to a certain degree, you can only go on the deck of the boat. There is cafe and a shop when you exit. We had the Oslo Pass and it gives free admission to this museum.

Visited this museum on a wet day as part of the Hop on hop off bus. Very well put together with lots of information well presented. Spent over two hours looking at the various exhibits. Well done.

Fascinating museum. The ship, Fram, which carried explorer Roald Amundsen and crew to the South Pole, is there in all its glory. The museum is build in a triangle form so that the top of the mast can be included in the museum. Visitors can walk all over the ship, talking a tour of the deck, crews' quarters, kitchen, boiler room and dining table, all laid out. Photographs and placards describing the expedition, as well as videos, are there too. Free lockers provide a place for coats.

Very well presented overview of polar explorations. The fact that you can stand on ships that have actually been there is so cool.

We went to the museum expecting it to be interesting but that was all. We were wrong, one of the best museums i have ever visited. The whole ship was accessible, everything was written in English so we really understood what it was all about. The 4D ride was informative and fun. Highly recommend visiting if you have any interest whatsoever in polar exploration or ships. We had purchased the OSLO pass so transport to them museum and entry was covered by the pass - highly recommend the pass too. Don't forget it is opposite the Kontiki museum so two great trips in one place

Excellent museum - so much info but so well presented, freedom to wander and choose order of visit, novel displays, multisensory. Liked the recognition given to so many contributors to Polar exploration and science. Loved it! One of, if not the best museum ever visited.

The museum is very interactive and has an immersive atmosphere. The information it brings is super interesting and makes you learn a lot about the local culture and the importance of preserving nature in the polar areas.
