The Fram Museum Admission Ticket

Posted By : Bernadine31
The ship is incredible. Unbelievable to go on it. The museum is packed to the hilt with information-so much so that it’s overwhelming and very crowded with displays in a tight space. The museum needs extending- which might be planned. Let the ship take the space and move all the written stuff to another section where people can study it. Excellent bookshop. Small dark cafe which is also crowded into the small space. But overall you won’t be disappointed.

The cinema area was completely closed off on the first day we visited. The second day it wasn’t and we discovered we missed at least 30% of the museum on the first day. It was definitely worth visiting and getting the chance to go into the ships that have traveled to the north and south poles!

Great museum with interactive elements, good stories, and of course, two actual ships. Takes about 2-3 hours to go through the exhibits.

A nice exposure to experience all the adventures and exploration done by some of the great explorers on the earth. The surrounding of the place is also mesmerising.

Nice story behind the polar expedition by Nansen and the Fram ship. We enjoyed the visit and can only recommend it. Suitable for kids.

A very good museum learning about the polar explorations of generations past in terms of the teams, dangers, challenges and achievements gained and lost as a result. The museum is spread across a couple of small buildings each housing a sailing vessel that was used by the great explorers, one of which is fully open to roam within. The museum is divided into different sections, one being a short video room which gives an overview and introduction to polar exploration and its intrigue. The next is a summary of the different expeditions that were undertaken from different countries and teams in the name of science and technological development, with an emphasis on the Norwegians of course. The main building houses the Flam vessel a reinforced wooden ship that was built to withstand the crushing ice flows. You can explore the main deck and below deck to see and experience what life was like for the crew aided by lighting, low beams, surround sound, projections and life-like figures and dioramas in rooms. Its quite impressive and an enjoyable experience wondering round. There is a lot of information to look at, read and digest the majority of which is in Norwegian and English. Besides the explorers themselves and expeditions undertaken there is also coverage of local culture among the Canadian Inuit with clothing, weapons, and crafts wear all visible in display cases as you go round as well as also animals found in the polar regions. There are audio guides as well which are available in several languages (French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese etc) including a physical guidebook. I spent about 2 hours here wondering around, and could, if reading everything on offer, have spent about 3. They also had a cafe with small explorer huts to dine in - great for privacy and also a well stocked shop with quite a good selection of items for sale.

Amazing museum and so many original artefacts, really enjoyed moving through the ship understanding what life aboard might have been like, highly recommended, just check bus routes and times as somewhat remote location

A brilliant museum - two boats to explore in the entirety and really helpful displays on English and Norwegian- easily spend 2 or 3 hours here. So glad we came.

Great morning out visiting the Fram museum. I’ve been before (back in 2022) and the interactive weather display was fully operational with the ice room. However, on this occasion the weather on the ships deck wasn’t working at one end of the ship and the ice room was closed and no longer in use. Still, an amazing ship to visit and I’d recommend a break away from the city centre to get out there to learn about the Arctic explorers.

The Fram Museum on Oslo's museum island is a must for any visitor to Norway's capital. The museum is dedicated to the remarkable story of the Fram, a Schooner used in expeditions of the Arctic and Antarctic regions by the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, Oscar Wisting, and Roald Amundsen between 1893 and 1912. However, it is also dedicated to the history of exploration in general, celebrating the successes, but also mentioning the failures. Definitely worth a visit
