The Kon-Tiki Museum

Thor Heyerdal gained worldwide fame when he crossed the Pacific Ocean on Kon-Tiki in 1947, a raft made out of balsa logs. By completing this mission he demonstrated that early man had mastered sailing before even the saddle and wheel were invented.

Visit the Kon-Tiki museum  on the island of Bygdøy in the Oslo Fjord and see Heyerdal’s famous rafts. You can also head into the caves of the Bygdøy Island and experience an underwater expedition.
