The iconic Kon-Tiki fleet meets you in a new and atmospheric setting. Above the fleet, a living sky plays, changing from sunny days to dramatic storms and sparkling starry skies – just as the expedition experienced it.

Around the fleet, you get a deep dive into the life and work of Thor Heyerdahl before Kon-Tiki. New images, stories and modern communication give you a richer insight into what led up to the daring journey. Interactive stations and animations are in place, where you can explore a digital map of the expeditions and decide for yourself the theories that inspired the journey by comparing statues Heyerdahl found on different continents.

You also get to experience what life was like on board the 101-day journey – and how demanding it was to reach land after months at sea.

We also highlight an important story that has long been in the background: Gerd Vold Hurum finally gets his rightful place side by side with Heyerdahl and the rest of the crew. Her efforts on land were crucial to the success of the expedition.

This is just some of what you can experience in the coming weeks. We look forward to seeing you here. Welcome!
