What To Expect
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.

4.00A museum, literally, built around a ship- "The Fram". The museum is multiple levels that wrap around the ship and tell the stories of its' expeditions and the explorers that crewed her.
A fantastic experience in Polar exploration.

5.00The Fram Museum is simple to get to from the centre of Oslo. The 30 bus literally stops outside it. The entrance fee was approx. £13.70 per person and is excellent value for money for what you get. There are free lockers on entry to store coats, bags etc. You get a free map of the museum layout. A good place to start is the introduction film for a 5 minute crash course in polar history on the ground floor before proceeding around the hull of the Fram ship to learn about the expeditions it and others made in the race to the South Pole and the likes. On the third floor there are more interesting facts and the opportunity to board the ship and go through it to see what the living conditions were like. Watch the raging storms around the ship and sit on the rocking bench on the boat. Once finished go via the tunnel on the ground floor to see the new Gjøa building. The centerpiece here is Gjøa, the first ship to navigate the whole of the Northwest Passage. There is also a replica of the N25 plane and the 4d polar flight simulator! It is fun for sure. We didn't have any refreshments but they are certainly there available from a small cafe. The whole experience took up at least 3 hours of our day and was well worth it.
Great Museum

Polar Exploration Museum

5.00This museum contains a lot of information about Norwegian polar exploration and two large ships that were used including the Gjøa which is the first ship to sale the northwest passage and the Fram ship which went to both the north seas and the south seas in the early 1900s. We learnt a lot about early polar exploration and the contributions and advances that Norway had made. Highlight here is getting to go through the Fram ship and getting to see life on board the ship. There is lots of tight spaces and steep steps so it isn't fully accessible but we believe families with children would enjoy this museum or people with an interest in polar exploration. We really enjoyed this museum and would say it was our favourite in Oslo. We spent a couple of hours here. There are combination tickets you can get so you can see other museums in the area. The Kon-Tiki Museum and Norwegian Maritime Museum are a stone's throw away from the Fram Museum and just down the road is the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History and the Viking Ship Museum. It is easy to see two or three museums in a day. We visited this area around sunset and got a nice view of the Oslo Fjord from the water front. We took the bus out here and had difficulties navigating the online application called Ruter app and also could not find a convenience store in the museum area so we would recommend setting up this application before you go to Oslo.

5.00In this museum one could walk on the same ship as the explorers who crewed the Fram. Not many others in the world allow this closeness to such a historic ship. We were able to explore most of the main deck but also clamber down and see the inside of the ship. All around on multiple floors contained so much photos, artifacts and details about the many sailings of the Fram, the main explorers and the success and tribulations. Through a short tunnel we were able to see the Gjoa which was famous for being the first to transit the Northwest Passage and ride the 4D simulator of the N25 plane as it flew over, crashed and then resumed its polar flight. Quite a lot of history here and learned so much.
One of the best museums I've ever been to

5.00This museum was well thought out and had more than enough to explore for the budget-friendly admission. It's a little out of the way but there is a wonderful public bus that stops directly at the entrance to the museum that runs every 15-30 mins throughout the day. The museum was very interactive and super informative. They also offer information is several languages to make it accessible to all. The digital and technological aspects of the museum were awesome!
Very good museum

4.00A very unique Museum, with a lot of history. It also has a couple of other Musuems around it and all included as part of the Oslo card that we had. The views from around this area, I would say, are a must see part of the overall Oslo experience.
Worth the stop!

5.00The sheer size of the vessel is truly captivating! Being able to walk on board and explore the ship was a great experience as well. It’s hard to imagine life back then!
