Not very busy when we went (early afternoon on a dreary Friday in October half term). Very informative & very interesting. Everything was written out in English as well as a video of the explorers.

Also it was oddly laid out and we kept going the wrong way. As part of Oslo pass it was worth it but I think if we had paid full price we would have been disappointed.

I really enjoyed my visit to this museum since I was already familiar with the story of the Kon-Tiki. It was eye-opening to actually see the exact construction of the raft that the brave men sailed on for 101 days across the Pacific Ocean. In addition, this museum also tells the story of the Ra and Ra II that attempted to sail across the Atlantic. It was amazing that anyone would attempt such a journey in a boat constructed of reeds. If you read a majority of the displays and informational boards (that are in at least 6 languages), it is easy to spend an hour or more here.What a great story this museum tells! Although Fram museum (also 5 stars museum) is larger and visually impressive, this one provides a tight and inspiring experience. Just make sure you’re not missing the 12 o’clock movie

It’s a beautiful place to visit, full of pictures, the kon tiki and a short documentary on the voyage. I used my Oslo pass here (worth it) I recommend.
