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.

5.00Well worth a visit. Easy to get there on the ferry. Spectacular experience. Fascinating. Well set out. And amazing being able to walk round the Fram itself. I spent 3 hours there.
An Absolute Historical Gem

5.00What an exceptionally good museum. A 20 minute ferry ride delivers you to this fantastic experience. There is a vast amount to see and learn about. The exploration of Greenland is truly fascinating when you realise just how brave the early explorers were and the life threatening dangers they faced and not always overcame. The stories of Amundsen and his clever preparations, adopting lessons learnt from the Inuit people, is really well worth reading. Don't miss the 4d experience of the crash landing plane and the subsequent work to get it flying again.
Great place to visit for a few hours

5.00We took the bus here to visit this museum. It was very cool to experience the ship. Great place to visit for a few hours however the weather was beautiful outside so we rushed it a bit. We walked over to Stave church afterwards (about 20 mins). It was a perfect day!
Excellent

5.00Very exciting to see and do the tour of the Fram and to learn more about Norway’s explorers. We especially loved taking the ferry over, then walking to the Folk Museum. Lots of walking but well worth it!
Very interesting and extensive exhibition with, in addition to the ships, a lot of pictures and filmee to look at

5.00Well-made exhibition filled to the ceiling with information, photos from expeditions and not least the ships. We spent almost five hours there, plan plenty of time if you want to read 'everything'. However, it is well designed so that you can choose how much you want to read or just watch, regardless, you get a good experience. Simply a really good museum!
Where polar history stops feeling distant and starts feeling real. But without needing the extra layers.

5.00It felt like stepping directly into the golden age of polar exploration. What makes it so memorable is that the actual ship, the Fram, is the experience. You’re not looking at it from behind ropes or glass; you can walk aboard it, explore the cabins, engine room and decks, and genuinely imagine what life must have been like for explorers heading into the Arctic darkness. It gives the museum a sense of atmosphere and authenticity that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. The stories of Fridtjof Nansen, Roald Amundsen and the polar expeditions are told brilliantly, adventurous, human and surprisingly emotional in places. The interactive exhibits and the sheer ambition of those journeys make it engaging whether you’re deeply into history or not. It’s also one of those museums that manages to feel immersive without becoming overly polished or commercialised. You leave with a genuine appreciation for just how extreme and courageous those expeditions were. *Visited with the Oslo Pass.
Beautiful

An Immersive Experience in Discovering Record-breaking History
somewherelands,Apr 29, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Fbeing in the mere presence of this multi-record-breaking engineering marvel should, by all means, be more than enough to impress the ordinary onlooker, but just in case it isn’t, immersive exhibits on polar expeditions, equipment, and the explorers themselves leave little doubt as to the sheer audacity and ingenuity behind Fram’s voyages. visitors (even the discerning ones) are allowed on board (yes, the original ship!) to poke, prod, and leave our grubby little fingerprints all over this extraordinary relic of history, experiencing up close the very environment that tested some of Norway’s most daring explorers. ngl, i had zero expectation of what to expect when I stepped in here. in retrospect, i even wonder how it made my list. but i am beyond delighted that i did, mostly because it was extremely effective in conveying not just the “wow” of polar explorations, but the immense courage, endurance, turmoil, and difficult life decisions that had to be made, just to make these feats possible. and of course, the awe of simply being in the presence of something so monumental cannot be dismissed. this was a ship that was built in 1892, which makes it more than 130 years old as we speak. on a side note, you may have come across a similar museum named the Norwegian Maritime Museum; and you may be wondering which to pick, or if you should even be picking at all. even though both are essentially marine-themed, it is worth knowing that the similarities just about end there. shere Fram is immersive, intimate, and very specific in its polar expedition history, the Norwegian Maritime Museum is broader in scope. in the latter, information spans centuries of Norway’s seafaring history, from fishing and coastal life to shipping and marine technology, and the visitor’s journey is more exhibition-led than experiential. if you can only do one, i would highly recommend Fram over Norwegian Maritime, simply because there is a strong visceral thrill you will get out of Fram that you will most likely not find in its counterpart. there is something about standing inside a vessel that once pushed into the most hostile corners of the planet that makes the experience land in a way most static exhibitions alone rarely can. that said, if there is a niche to your interest, then definitely stamp both firmly onto your itinerary (and just drop something else altogether if time gets a little too tight). neither of these museums should be rushed, especially if you are particularly keen on the field of marine.
Interesting but 'too much information'

3.00The museum is located on the Bydgøy peninsula and you can be on site by ferry boat from the port in 10 minutes. If you have the Oslo Pass, admission is included, otherwise you pay 180,- NOK (approximately 16,50 euros) in April 2026. The Fram was used in the three famous polar expeditions of Fridtjof Nansen (1893-1896), Otto Sverdrup (1898-1902) and Roald Amundsen (1910-1912). It was built in 1892 and is on display in the original with well-preserved furnishings and objects on site. The museum was opened in May 1936. The exhibition is very extensive and has finally ‘slain’ us. Although very informative, at some point you no longer have an overview. Nevertheless a recommendation when visiting Oslo.
