Lonely Planet review for Kon-Tiki Museum

A favourite among children, the worthwhile Kon-Tiki Museum is dedicated to the balsa raft Kon-Tiki, which Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl sailed from Peru to Polynesia in 1947. The museum also displays the totora reed boat Ra II, built by Aymara people on the Bolivian island of Suriqui in Lake Titicaca. Heyerdahl used it to cross the Atlantic in 1970. For a full rundown on the life of this extraordinary explorer who achieved a lot in his lifetime, see the boxed text, p132.

    Kon-Tiki Museum

    cjboarder1 recommends this,

    This is a really interesting museum even if it doesn't really fit with the Viking and Folk Museums in the city. But catch the ferry bus here from the docks in front of the city hall and you'll get an opportunity for a picnic and three museums including this one to visit.
