Fram Museum

The Fram Museum was the world's strongest wooden polar vessel, intended to endure the pressure of the frozen sea. It took part in three important excursions to both polar regions between 1893 and 1912. It now stands in the heart of the museum. Artifacts from such expeditions are displayed on three floors around it.

You may stroll along the deck, pretend to be the captain, and imagine what it must have been like to navigate through Arctic and Antarctic waters. See how the personnel dealt with the intense cold of the arctic regions inside the ship. Imagine living or working in the cabins, lounges, cargo hold, kitchen, and engine room, and observe the phonograph and piano that would have delighted the explorers on lengthy trips.

The Dark Walk is a three-room immersive experience about a failed northern expedition. Stand on a moving ship deck as fantasy creatures attack and the temperature plummets to 15 degrees Fahrenheit (minus ten degrees Celsius). Pass through the ice tunnel, but keep an eye out for the oncoming polar bear. The museum also features a section dedicated to lesser-known Norwegian explorers. Carsten Borchgrevink, who conducted the first winter expedition on the Antarctic continent, is among them.
