The Nansen Photographs

Temporary exhibition

We see how Nansen selected the cameras for the expedition, and photographs and information about the cameras themselves supplement this part.

Tells the story of Norwegian Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen and his ground-breaking effort to reach the North Pole in the specially designed polar ship Fram. The story starts when the plan for the expedition was launched in 1890 and continues until the end of Nansen’s international lecture tour in 1897. We see how Nansen selected the cameras for the expedition, and photographs and information about the cameras themselves supplement this part.
