The Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo, Norway, is dedicated to the adventurous expeditions of Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. The museum houses the original Kon-Tiki raft, which Heyerdahl and his crew used in 1947 to sail from Peru to Polynesia, demonstrating the possibility of ancient transoceanic contact. In addition to the Kon-Tiki raft, the museum features exhibits on Heyerdahl's other expeditions, including the Ra and Tigris reed boats. Visitors can explore a variety of artifacts, photographs, and documentaries that showcase Heyerdahl's groundbreaking work in anthropology and exploration.
