Itinerary
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.

The ship is beautiful and it is nice that you can explore it internally. The rest of the museum is uninteresting. It is worth the visit especially if you have activated the Oslo Pass
A rich museum with many things to discover; Good both for childrens and adults.
Great experience. We took the busses from the cruise port. Had to ask locals though which ones to catch as it involved 3 bus switches. Once there, the museum was amazing. You can actually walk on pieces reconstructed of the Fram. This was the best part. Be sure to catch the first excursion on the side museum, too. Would totally recommend when in Oslo.
Very exciting museum that tells excellent about Amundsen and Nansen. Impressive to see the boat. Many people - cruise the tourist. Can be recommended to try to come a day with fewer people. That said, it is so big that you can easily get a good experience out of it. Finally try simulator flight. Will come another time
We really enjoyed this museum…so informative and presented in an interesting way.
We truly enjoyed this particular exhibit. The only possible negative point I can give it is a fact that there was a lot of people from the cruise ships so it was a bit crowded to get around. It is interesting to know that there is a water taxi that will take you from the main area of oslo to this museum instead of having to take a taxi as we did. It Is very well done.Everything is very well explained.I recommend people to go with particular idea that they want to look into instead of just spending hours reading all of the panels on the wall. My husband was interested in the boat and the expedition part of it.I wanted to hear and see about the animals and the people they encountered. If you just wonder in it might take you 3 hours to read everything.Because it's so intense and well explained. There is much to entertain, and also, it is very fun for the kids !
A real museum that retraces the history of the ship inside the ship itself, which is entirely explorable. Engaging multimedia reconstructions, smells, noises, everything takes you on board with the explorers. If we want to find a flaw, it would be better to have a quota on the number of people. Highly recommended among the things to do in Oslo
Really great museum, well worth the visit
The huge ship, the mass of old photos and what remains from Nansen's and other explorers hazardous travels were overwhelming.
Very beautiful presentation; it is very rare to be able to visit a boat of this size and, what's more, in French. However, you have to read a lot... allow for at least 3 hours if you want to read everything...
