Norwegian Maritime Museum

Another very cool museum; we almost skipped it but I'm glad we didn't. There are some old ship interiors you can explore the inside of, some really cool models & stories of Norwegian seafarers. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Enjoyed the overall experience, but I wish the exhibits were more hand on and interactive than just looking at some model boats. For example, there was an interactive informative game in a section which had multiple people waiting to play, if they had more, then it would be more fun. Also, the museum is very big, and since we had a limited amount of time, it was even more disappointing we didn’t have any fun. Overall sort of underwhelming experience, but if you are looking for a museum to spend your whole day at, then this is it,

Fascinating museum. Really interesting and diverse and the inclusion of modern age as well as historic. Lots of young school age kids in who were getting alot out of the visit too. . Loved the boat building

We visited this museum along with the Kon-Tiki museum. Seeing all the different boats was fascinating. My favourite part was the replica of inside a ship. We also visited the gift shop, where I found a book about Sámi people. The cafe also had a nice selection of food and drinks.

We really enjoyed our visit and as the name suggests it covers a great deal of the history of Norwegian Maritime explorations and constructions. We were lucky enough to be there as carpenters were working on a boat. The original biking boat is extraordinarily interesting. If this is combined with the other museums in the area, it makes for almost a full day of exploration.

Disappointment! For a nation with such a tradition in navigation, I was expecting something completely different. The only things are the building itself, which has a special architecture and the section dedicated to children. Otherwise, nothing, a small and dull museum. Few exhibits, some information in text or image format (drawings) and that's it. There is also a library but it is not an attraction for a visitor from abroad. There is also an OK cafe, where you can have a not very complex snack and have a drink. The outdoor terrace has a very beautiful view. One hour is enough to visit it.

Another great museum in Oslo! This museum covered a wide variety of history when it comes to Maritime- from the Vikings to prison ships, cruise ships, it’s got it all. I wish we could have watched them build a Viking ship that they were in progress, but still very neat to see. The upstairs had an area for kids to play that was honestly quite extensive and very interactive.

Very nice museum with many large and small artifacts. Excellent signage and details in both Norse and English. Museum accommodates large artifacts well and has ample space for folks to move around or stand in one place to take a detailed look. Spent about 2 hours there and could have stayed longer. Ideal spot for tourists of all ages. Got a nice talk from a curator on how they use archeological information to produce modern facsimiles.
