Seasons greetings to all Kon-Tiki people:
This year's Christmas card depicts Thor Heyerdahl with photographer Walter Leonardi (and Leonardi's daughter). Buon natale e un felice e prospero anno nuovo!
Thank you for the music, Jonas Alaska. For et vakkert julebord med stemningsfylt underholdning på Kon-Tiki Museet, VNTX. Alle aku-akuer er fornøyde.
✨🗿✨

* Fantastic museum *
Other tourist landmarks might be notable for their historical, architectural, o...r entertainment value --- this place tho, its significance rests on a few important factors that any developed(ing) city/state would benefit in replicating.
What Eastern Island represents for humanity:
- how lack of foresight (mismanaging/abusing resources) quickly leads to a society's, and as a consequence, environment's demise.
- the explorer was able to achieve goals through fierce creativity and networking.
- random note, his folks came from differing religious backgrounds (one devotely Christian and the other atheist - something I can relate to) which likely shaped his unique outlook to push his purpose and be open to understanding differing points of view.
Overall, I wish this symbolic place would be more easily accessible. Having a subtle visual cue, a psychological reminder like what seeing a cross or smelling popcorn at amusement parks, does wondrous profound effects on the individual and societal level :D
Can't go having a Kon-Tiki museum at every major city, tho. Maybe a compact version in VR format at all Natural History Museum and/or taught to students would do?

The museum foyer and shop is looking great after a redesign by Kaels Studio - in this short film you can learn more about the underlying concept. The Kon-Tiki Museum is a must when visiting Oslo!
