Review & FAQ:
The Kon-Tiki Museum was built to house and display the Kon-Tiki raft, which the famous Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl used to sail across the ocean from Peru to Polynesia in 1947. Today, visitors can admire the pre-Columbian balsa wood raft as well as several of the explorer's original vessels. Exhibits cover everything from the details of Heyerdahl's journeys to Tiki pop culture, and the museum also offers an exciting tour of a 100-foot cave. An Oscar-winning documentary about Heyerdahl's journey was produced in 1950, and it can be viewed every day at noon in the museum's theater.
