A number of new attractions were available for the visitors at the Fram Museum, the highlight being the continuous 270 degrees surround film shown from the deck of Fram. The Fram Museum is located at Bygdøy, a short distance from the centre of Oslo and is easily reached by bus or, in the summer season, by ferry from the City Hall quayside. We focus on polar history, our centrepiece beeing FRAM, the strongest wooden polar ship ever, dating from 1893. Our closest neighbours are the Kon-Tiki Museum and the Norwegian Maritime Museum. The Viking Ship Museum and the Norwegian Folk Museum are within 15 minutes walk. The Bygdøy peninsula is therefore popularly known as the museum peninsula. Bygdøy is one of Oslo´s main places to go. The main exhibition in the Fram building has explanatory texts in ten languages and describes the three great Fram expeditions. We have exclusive polar souvenirs in our shop and probably the world’s biggest polar book store with 220 different titles.

Oslo has many wonderful museums but I have to say that this one is my favorite. We spent a few hours there and I could have spent even more time. I learned so much about the various Polar Expeditions involving Norwegian explorers and others as well. As a Canadian I was particularly interested to learn about Amundsen's voyage through the Northwest Passage and the time he spent with the Inuit and what he learned from them which was useful on his later trip to the South Pole. It was great to be able to walk right onto the Fram, the actual ship that Amundsen took to Antarctica on his historic voyage. Don't miss this museum which is easily reached by ferry. The entrance fee (and the ferry trip) are both included in the Oslo City Pass.

FRAM
Awesome museum - located on Bygdoy. Easy ferry ride from CBD side. Lots of information about the polar explorations throughout history and significant pioneers that set out to discover the unknown. Very interactive with makeship vessel models, short documentaries to watch and exhibitions throughout. Worth spending several hours learning about the history of how far polar exploration has come to over the decades and the various hardships that one would easily forget about with today's modernization and technology available.
