The Ski Museum, at Kongeveien 5, was established in 1923 and has been at Holmenkollen since 1951; it was renovated for its centenary in 2023, with a façade by Snøhetta inspired by old wooden skis. One ticket covers the museum and the jump tower, with one of the widest views over Oslo; there is a ski simulator and a zipline (holmenkollen.com, VisitOSLO).
