The Museum of Science and Technology exhibits Norway's historical development from a society based on agriculture to one grounded in industry, with a focus on technological development. Exhibits include Norway's first car, tram, and plane. The second floor is devoted to the development of telecommunications. A section in the basement encourages children of all ages to create their own scientific experiments. The Klima X exhibit showcases the effects of global warming by having visitors don rubber boots and stand as a ten-centimeter-tall sheet of water covers the floor. The museum contains a good souvenir shop and café.
Founded in 1923, this is the world's oldest museum dealing with skis and the history of skiing. Situated in the enormous ski-jump at Holmenkollen (which offers exceptional views of the city), the Ski Museum covers the 4000-year history of skiing and contains exhibits like Viking skis and skis used by famous Arctic explorers like Amundsen and Nansen. The museum also describes the Norwegian royal family's interest in the sport and contains the royal ski collection.
