The Kon-Tiki Museum, located on the Bygdøy peninsula in Oslo, is a unique museum dedicated to the daring expeditions of the famous Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl. Founded in 1949 and moved to its current building in 1957, the museum houses the legendary Kon-Tiki, a balsa raft with which Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific in 1947, along with the famous Ra II, made of reeds following an ancient Egyptian model.

The permanent exhibition also features the Tigris expedition, research conducted in Fatu Hiva, Galápagos, Easter Island, and Túcume, with a vast collection of artifacts, maps, tools, photographs, and scientific models. Underneath the giant raft is an aquatic installation with a realistic 10m model of a whale shark; there is also a replica of a 30m cave inspired by the caves of Rapa Nui.
