The next day, we took a ferry to Bygdøy Penninsula, where we toured the Kon-Tiki and Fram museums.  

“The Kon-Tiki museum shows Thor Heyerdahl’s famous life’s work, which is characterized by a desire for research, environmental protection and sustainability and deep respect for indigenous peoples. The exhibits include the original balsa raft from the Kon-Tiki expedition and the reed boat Ra II.” 9https://www.kon-tiki.no/en/home)

“The Fram is the famous Norwegian wooden ship built in 1892 by Colin Archer for polar exploration. Designed with a rounded hull to lift up when squeezed by pack ice rather than crush, it carried explorers on three historic expeditions across the Arctic and Antarctic before finding a permanent home in Oslo.” (https://www.introducingoslo.com/fram-museum)
