Thor Heyerdahl's world
Den som skal følge i Thor Heyerdahls fotspor, må belage seg på mye reising. Her finner du en oversikt over steder som viderefører Heyerdahls verdier og arbeid.
Thor Heyerdahl Institute
The Thor Heyerdahl Institute is an international institute under development in Larvik. The primary goal of the institute is to promote and further develop the research and development ideals of Thor Heyerdahl. Each year the institute arranges the Thor Heyerdahl International Day around a global theme. In addition to this and in cooperation with the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB) the institute has also created The Thor Heyerdahl Professorship. The professorship is unique in Europe.
Colla Micheri, Liguria, Italy
Colla Micheri is one of the best preserved towns from the middle ages, to be found on the coast of Liguaria. The town lies approximately midway between Genova and the boarder of France. It is 150m above sea level, and has around 30 permenant residents - mostly Italians. A few of the houses and apartments are used as vacation homes by Italians, as well as a few Frenchman and Norwegians. When Thor Heyerdahl found the town in 1959, the town was almost deserted and the church in a state of ruin. He bought and restored the church and several of the houses and slowly, but surely people started to rerurn and began restoring homes and other buildings. Thor Heyerdahl, himself, chose his final resting place here on a hill above the village.

Piramides de Guimar
"Pirámides de Güímar" is an Ethnographic Park with a great cultural, historical and archaeoastronomical value. Within its premises we will discover six stepped pyramids, showing great resemblance to those found in South America, Egypt, Sicily, Sardinia, Tahiti, etc.

Sebra Film
The Sebra Film Archive contains over a thousand documentary films and TV productions, made over half a century in many different parts of the world. There are also about half a million photographs in colour and black and white.The main theme of the Archive has always been support for the environment, with the emphasis on sustainable development. Early in his career, the great Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl chose Sebra Film as the company that would record his life's work on film. Today the Archive is by far the most important source of pictorial material relating to Thor Heyerdahl to be found anywhere in the world. At Sebra Film the work continues as a long-lasting project entitled "The Heritage of Thor Heyerdahl".

Segelschiff "THOR HEYERDAHL"
Having been the navigator onboard Thor Heyerdahl’s Tigris-Expedition in 1977, there could have been no other name for the youth sailing ship and project that Detlef Soitzek initiated after his return and Thor Heyerdahl was thrilled to lend his name to such a project.Since 1983, the traditional topsail schooner “Thor Heyerdahl” has been in active service for youth education, run by the registered non-profit association Segelschiff “THOR HEYERDAHL” e.V. and the Segelschiff Thor Heyerdahl gGmbH. With almost 25 years experience in teaching and educating young people, the “Thor Heyerdahl” is seen as a pioneer in this field and has been used as a role model for many similar sailing projects.

Tangaroa
In 2006, after three years of preparations and teambuilding, a crew of six men sailed across the Pacific and through the Tuamotu achepilego, on a replica of a giant South American balsa raft. the raft was named Tangaroa, after the Polynesian god of the sea. It would go on to show that the name was well deserved.

The municipality of Larvik is now doing more to honour the name of Thor Heyerdahl. During the course of a three year project we will strengthen the ties between Thor Heyerdahls name and Larvik so that the town becomes known as his hometown both in Norway and around the world. We will create new attractions and experiences based on core values such as innovation, adventurousness and sincerity.
The Thor Heyerdahl Institute (established in 2000) is an independant foundation based in Thor Heyerdahls hometown of Larvik and aims to be an arena for international social dialog. The first Thor Heyerdahl International Day was arranged on the 2nd of November 2006, in Oslo.
