On our third day in Oslo we visited a must-see site: the Fram Museum. We took the same ship from the port as we took to get to the Folksemuseum, however, we had to take it one more stop beyond it.
Fram ("Forward") is a ship that was used in expeditions of the Arctic and Antarctic regions by the Norwegian explorers Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup, Oscar Wisting, and Roald Amundsen between 1893 and 1912.
Wait, that's not the Fram. It was our ship.
That's the Fram!
It was freezing.
But we had good supplies.
So we could navigate.
And eat well.
Later in the Munch Museum, I didn't take any photos. There is no permanent exhibition there. The current exhibition was "Emma & Edvard: Love in the time of loneliness". In Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary, Emma Bovary’s penchant for romantic dreams leads her to marital infidelity and ends in tragedy. Our visit didn't end so sad, but the audio-visual interaction between Munch’s art didn't give me new perspectives on Munch's works. It was a little weird to me.
However, we found Munch's famous Scream, (which is not exhibited in that museum) in the Cafe:
I must say I never ever gained so profound understanding of Munch's art before.
