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.

Exceptional Polar Museum Built Around A Remarkable Ship

5.00Plan at least an hour and a half to walk through the ship and associated exhibits that bring to life the incredible challenges of exploring the remote and austere polar regions in the days before satellites and cell phones. If you take in the short movie and read the text by the displays of exploration gear, the diorama, and biographical material, you could easily spend 2-3 hours here. The museum shop is excellent, with a wide range of books on polar exploration, in addition to the usual games, toys, T-shirts, key chains, post cards, and what-not. If all that reading and clambering above and below decks makes you hungry, you can grab a bite at a table in a “cabin” with a “window” overlooking an Arctic scene in the shadow of the ship, or walk over to the Maritime Museum cafe for a wider selection. Getting to the Bygdøy peninsula in the little cream-colored ferry is quick and easy, or you can take the #30 bus. Admission is included in the "Oslo Pass" or 180 Norwegian Kroner (NOK) for adults, 70 NOK for children. We went on a summer Sunday morning; it was well attended, but not too crowded for us to get good pictures and linger in front of exhibits that particularly interested us. Staff seemed confined to the gift shop and cafe (we did not encounter any docents or historical interpreters). Best for people with an interest in polar exploration and maritime history.
Interesting Museum

5.00This is incredible good value. There is so much to read. Being able to stand on the Fram boat makes everything so much more interesting. Great place to spend 2 - 3 hours. Getting the ferry there and back was an added bonus.
Everyone enjoyed the Fram!

5.00Very interesting, unique experience. Actually on the Norwegian wooden ship which made a successful trip to the Antarctic.
Loved it! Fascinating!

5.00The topic of Arctic exploration was not something any of us had ever truly contemplated. Two adults and one 16-year-old spent almost three hours reading and learning all the things. Be sure to read the timeline of the first Fram trip. We are surprised it is not a major motion picture. Also be sure to make it to the top level where you can enter and see the inside of the Fram. Don’t be fooled by the e entry as it looks like a boring museum. It is not. You do need to read quite a bit to understand the importance. We loved it!
