About The Fram Museum
The Fram Museum in Oslo is home to the Fram, a historic Norwegian research ship completed in 1892 and used for polar expeditions from 1893 to 1912. The ship was specially designed to drift in pack ice without being damaged by the enormous pressure of the ice, thanks to a rounded hull cross-section and thick, reinforced outer walls. After a period of decay, the Fram was restored beginning in the 1920s and, in 1935, put on display under cover in a purpose-built museum on the Bygdøy peninsula. You can tour the ship with its original interior and get a sense of what life was like for the explorers of the time. The exhibition is rounded out by displays on the three great polar voyages, as well as a comprehensive section on the Arctic and Antarctic regions that underscores the ship's historic importance for the exploration of the polar regions.
