23 Oct 2008 – Museums
Guiding Mike (my trail angel from the AT hike) towards some sites and museums will get him museum-ed! out when he departs Norway. Bærum & Vigeland Park (pictures in older posts), museums in the center of Oslo and Bydgø which are not in older postings are as follows:
Nasjonalgalleriet/National Gallery- Nordic & International art from 19th century to present
History Museum- Norwegian antiquities from the Stone age onwards
Frammuseet- the famous polar exploration ship FRAM
Kon-Tiki Museet- Thor Heyerdahl’s papyrus boat Ra II and the raft Kon-tiki are preserved by this museum
Norsk Sjøfartsmuseum/The Norwegian Maritime Museum
Norsk Folkemuseum/The Norwegian Folk Museum- One of Europe’s largest open-air museums
Vikingskipshuset/The Viking Ship Museum’s- three burial ships, the best-preserved Viking ships in existence (pictures in Viking Age, 1 Jul post).
Amazing pictures as usual!
