Our new exhibitions are opening soon. Come and get an exclusive sneak peek!

It's almost here – we're getting ready for the opening of brand new exhibitions at the museum! The official opening day is May 5th, but you can already experience a lot of what's new.

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.

Unknown, October 2025: “I'd never heard of Kon-Tiki. The dude was totally out of left field - and he persuaded others to come with him!! Great museum! The original raft and Ra the reed boat. Very interesting and not too long.” * * * * *

Petter-Andre, August 2024:  “ A great museum with a fantastic presentation, also for children. The adventurous story of  Thor and his colleagues is known worldwide, but in this museum, it really comes to life. Worth a visit!” * * * * *

Sarah, July 2024: “ I'd heard about the Kon Tiki expedition in school (in the UK) and this was a real trip down memory lane for me! The exhibits are well translated into English so it's easy to understand and follow.” * * * * *

Hene, Germany May 2026: “The Kon-Tiki Museum is an exciting and inspiring destination for visitors of all ages. The original rafts from Thor Heyerdahl's famous expeditions are impressively well preserved and provide a close-up look at the courage and spirit of discovery of bygone times. The stories behind the voyages are particularly fascinating, presented in a vivid and easy-to-understand way. The museum is clearly laid out, informative and well suited for a short but eventful visit. Films, exhibits and personal belongings bring the adventures on the high seas to life. The location on Bygdøy is also ideal and can be easily combined with other museums. A visit that is definitely worth it for anyone interested in history, adventure and unusual expeditions. “ * * * * *

Anna, Poland May 2026: “Recommended. A fantastic museum dedicated to the expedition known as Kon-Tiki, the successful attempt to sail from South America to the islands of French Polynesia on a raft, of which a replica is the museum's main attraction. In addition, there are several multimedia visualizations and films from the expedition.” * * * * *

Michael Z., July 2024: “ A delightful museum. Many real exhibits with fascinating histories. You can watch documentary footage of the journey in the museum. It is highly recommended to watch the feature film about this journey before your visit. If you haven’t visited the nearby museums, this is a great opportunity to visit several delightful museums at once! Highly recommended!” * * * * *
