In June 2013, the new Gjøa building was inaugurated, connected to the Fram by an underground tunnel. The highlight here is Gjøa, the first ship to successfully navigate the entire Northwest Passage. Visitors can explore brand new historical exhibitions on the expeditions of Gjøa and Maud, the airplanes N24 and N25, as well as the airship Norge, John Franklin’s legendary expedition, and those of Henry Larsen and Eivind Astrup.
The museum also addresses current issues affecting the High North, such as polar bears, ice melting, and gas and oil exploration. A cinema with 116 seats shows a polar introduction movie every fifteen minutes.
