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.

Really interesting, I learnt so much!

5.00I was not expecting this to be one of the highlights of my trip to Oslo, I went in with little interest in board and not much knowledge of polar exploration, but I found it so interesting and learnt so much. I particularly enjoyed the comparison of Amusden and Scott's attempts. There was a lot of information, arguably too much, but a really worthwhile visit. Tip- take the museum ferry (instead of tram) for a nice trip on the fjords as well!
Polar exploration to discover and rediscover

5.00Second visit and still beautiful. What an incredible story that these polar explorations! The highlighting of these stories demonstrates the whole logistical and human endeavour of such a project. Put in perspective of the time, it's completely crazy The boat is beautiful and visiting it allows to imagine living conditions
Awesome history

5.00So 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.

5.00Located 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.
Great experience

5.00Fascinating 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.

5.00Very well presented overview of polar explorations. The fact that you can stand on ships that have actually been there is so cool.
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.
