Holmenkollen Ski Museum (Norwegian: Skimuseet i Holmenkollen), located at the base of the Holmenkollen ski jump in Oslo, Norway, is the world's oldest ski museum, being founded in 1923.
The museum contains 4,000 years of skiing history, starting with rock carvings from the Stone Age showing skiers and skis from the Viking Age. It also shows polar equipment used in the expeditions of Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen.
