OVERVIEW

Gain a broad understanding of Oslo by delving into its maritime history and inspiring creativity before heading to Gardermoen Airport in plenty of time to catch your flight. The Fram Museum focuses on Norway’s heroic polar explorations, and its namesake – the wooden ship Fram – is mounted inside. Besides walking through this extraordinary vessel that was purpose-built in 1892 for polar research, you can learn about Norway’s Arctic and Antarctic pioneers such as Roald Amundsen, the first to sail through the Northwest Passage and the first to reach the South Pole. Gustav Vigeland was a trailblazer of a different sort as you will discover at his namesake outdoor sculpture museum. His life’s work, more than 200 sculptures of the human form in granite, bronze and wrought iron are on display. Another Oslo landmark – towering Holmenkollen Ski Jump – lies ahead, offering you spectacular views of the city, the fjord and the surrounding islands.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Browse the Fram Museum, a collection of ships and artifacts from polar expeditions.
• Behold hundreds of outdoor sculptures, all created by one obsessive Norwegian artist.
