Kon-Tiki Museum, Maritime museum in Bygdøynes, Norway.
The Kon-Tiki Museum displays original vessels, including the balsawood raft Kon-Tiki and reed boat Ra II, along with maps from expeditions across oceans.
The museum opened in 1949 to house the Kon-Tiki raft after Thor Heyerdahl's successful 8000-kilometer Pacific Ocean crossing from Peru to Polynesia in 1947.
The museum maintains a collection of 8,000 books and conducts regular returns of artifacts to Easter Island, supporting cultural preservation and research.
The museum operates daily from 10:00 to 17:00 between November and December, with adult admission at 140 NOK and children aged 6-17 at 50 NOK.
Visitors can explore a 30-meter cave system and view an underwater exhibition featuring a 10-meter model of a whale shark encountered during expeditions.
