  The  Fram Museum is centered principally on the original exploration vessel Fram. The original interior of Fram is intact and visitors can go inside the ship to view it.  Fram was commissioned, designed,  and built by Scots-Norwegian shipbuilder Colin Archer to specifications provided by Norwegian Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who financed the building of the ship with a combination of grant monies provided by the Norwegian government and private funding in 1891.
  In May 2009 the Norwegian Maritime Museum and the Fram Museum signed an agreement for the Fram Museum to take over the exhibition of the Gjøa, the first vessel to transit the Northwest Passage.  Roald Amundsen and a crew of six accomplished that feat in a three-year journey which was finished in 1906.  Gjøa is situated inside her own dedicated building at the museum. In 2017 the ship was made fully accessible to visitors.
