You're standing at the Kon-Tiki Museum, on the Bygdøy peninsula in Oslo. It's one of the best-known museums in the city, and it's all about one man: the Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl. He had a bold idea. Could people long ago, without modern ships, have crossed vast oceans? To prove it, he simply went and tried it himself.
