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.

A Must visit

5.00We 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
You mustn't miss this museum!

5.00Excellent 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.

5.00A very good museum, plenty to read and lots to see. All information in English. Only thing I would say a little confusing knowing where to start and to get your coats you have to go out and back in again
Excellent Museum

5.00Excellent museum, which provides so much history about polar expeditions.From the very first expeditions right through the years of all the 1900s, from so many different explorers.The depth of history in the museum tells the story of all the failed and successful expeditions, what they were doing, why they did it, and how clever they were for their time, and all about the equipment that they used,all the testing that was carried out over years and the tough times endured and all the harsh winters. There is even a piece on the dogs themselves, which were vital. You can also walk on board the ship, which is excellent, as normally you are not allowed to walk on displays.There is two parts to the museum, with the Fram ship being central. I would recommend giving about three to four hours in this museum minimum. There's so much to read and it's very informative. We both enjoyed it very much. There's also a small cafe where you can get tea, coffee, muffin, sandwich, just things small, some chocolate. But I would be careful as it looked like it did close earlier than the museum closed, so you might get caught out.There is a bus stop right outside the museum so it is well connected. Definitely worth a visit when in Oslo.We were very impressed.

4.00The history is displayed along with the display of polar expedition ships. It seems that ideas that lead to shipbuilding technology, which is now commonplace, were also born. You can enter the museum with an Oslo Pass.
