The permanent exhibition in the Fram Museum has been given a completely new look. The famous expeditions with the Fram led by Fridtjof Nansen, Roald Amundsen and Otto Sverdrup are now presented in a new way, with photographs, film and light effects. The historical artefacts have been given more exciting settings and two large models of the Fram and her crew in the arctic ice and of Captain Scott’s motor sledge on the antarctic ice are great attractions for both young and old. Framheim, Amundsen’s base in the Antarctic, has been recreated on film so that visitors can peep into the workrooms that the men dug out in the ice and see their preparations for the South Pole sledge trip. In addition you can see part of Lindstrøm’s famous kitchen in the Framheim hut. Thanks to the generosity of the families of the polar explorers, the Fram Museum is proud to present artefacts that have never been permanently exhibited before. These include an example of the first fossils found in Antarctica by C. Larsen, Carsten Borchgrevink’s and Eivind Astrup’s rifles, and the toy monkey that was the mascot on Roald Amundsen’s N24 aircraft in 1925. Six men in two planes were stranded on the arctic ice at 87°43' N and had to leave behind absolutely everything that was unnecessary weight, as they set off all in the one plane to reach back to Svalbard. Despite this, Leif Dietrichson felt he had to bring the monkey back, hidden in his jacket.
