Description
In an adjoining building to the Fram Museum and Shipping Museum in Oslo's Bygdøy area is the balsa-wood raft "Kon-Tiki" in which the Norwegian anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl and five companions sailed from the Peruvian port of Callao to Eastern Polynesia (April 28 to August 7, 1947). Here too are a 9.50m/30ft high figure from Easter Island, prehistoric boats, an underwater exhibition and an Easter Island family cave, as well as the 14m/46ft long papyrus boat "Ra II" in which Heyerdahl and a crew of men from eight nations crossed the Atlantic in 1970.
