Bygdøy walking loops — museum peninsula on the fjord

A peninsula of museums and beaches twenty minutes from downtown by ferry — which is the correct way to arrive. The Viking Ship Museum, the Kon-Tiki raft, the Fram polar vessel: Norway's relationship with the sea is laid out in buildings surrounded by birch forest. Between museums, gravel paths lead to sandy beaches on the fjord where Norwegians swim in water that would make most people gasp. The whole peninsula feels like a curated argument for the examined outdoor life.
