Norway: Kon-Tiki Museum

On Thursday I got four postcards: one from Norway, one from Slovenia and two from Malaysia.

The card from Norway shows a room of the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo. The Kon-Tiki Museum was opened in 1949 and since 1957 it is located in a new building. The museum was built to show artefacts of the Kon-Tiki expedition, an expedition from Peru to Polynesia led by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl to prove his thesis that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times. The main exhibit of the museum is the original vessel from the expedition. Also a library is located in the museum.

With related stamps:
100th birthday of Thor Heyerdahl (two from set of four) (issued 28-04-2014)

Thank You very much Cathrine!
