Holmenkollen Ski Museum, Winter sports museum at Holmenkollen, Norway.

The Holmenkollen Ski Museum contains over 2,000 years of skiing artifacts, including equipment, gear, and historical items from different periods.

Architect Hjalmar Welhaven established the museum in 1923 with his private collection before relocating it to Holmenkollbakken in 1951.

The museum presents exhibitions dedicated to polar explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen, featuring their expedition equipment and discoveries.

The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, a ski simulator experience, and includes access to the observation deck of the ski jump.

Visitors can examine thousand-year-old skis discovered in Norwegian glaciers, providing direct evidence of ancient Nordic transportation methods.
