Fram Museum

Polar exploration was important in late 1800 and early 1900. There was a race to conquer the North pole and the South pole. In the Polar Museum you find the two authentic polar ships Fram (-forward) and Gjøa. Rewarded "The best museum in Norway". The most impressive is that we can enter the original 130 years old ship and get the polar feeling forced onto us by the multimedla film above us showing the combined drama of sea, wind, ice bergs and northern light. Close by is also the KonTiki Museum (Entrance is not not included,)

The main reason for Oslo's development during the last 500 years is the Aker River splitting the city in two.

The lowest parts occupied by the "hipsters".
