The writer Rual Dahl once said that every Norwegian has at least one boat. And this, it seems, is very close to the truth, which every visitor of the Norwegian Maritime Museum can see. Located on the "museum" Peninsula Begdyoy, he is not as famous as his two nearest neighbors - the Kon-Tiki Museum and the Fram Museum, but a curious traveler will find here a lot of interesting facts to understand the unwritten but obvious truth : the sea for the Norwegian is everything.

The museum's exposition

The Norwegian Maritime Museum introduces the long and happy history of the Norwegians' relationship with the sea . The exposition tells about different techniques of catching fish - traditional and modern ), gives an insight into the history of the whaling industry, allows you to delve into the details of the functioning of the so-called seismic fleet (ships where oil and gas fields are being explored) . Separate halls are devoted to numerous ways of building ships (by the way, the oldest surviving to ours days of Norwegian ships are dated 2 in BC) and no less impressive techniques of saving ships from ice . Also it is definitely worth seeing a 20-minute film-journey along the Norwegian coast . Fjords wonder how good!
