    I just made another blog entry about museums in Oslo and Norwegian nautical history, focusing on Amundsen, Nansen, a bit of Heyerdahl and some Viking history too.

    I was going to focus on the Norwegian painter Munch and the sculptor Vigeland but I got lost somewhere in the Antarctic so I'll have to get back to that some other day.

    A lot of history represented by the Tune ship. It makes for an interesting excursion into the Norse past.
