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.

Managing director of the Thor Heyerdahl Institute is Beate Bjørge. 

Knut Pihl is head of the board of directors on which sits author and editor Jahn Otto Johansen, speaker of parliament Thorbjørn Jagland and director of the Kon-Tiki museum, Maja Bauge, amongst others.
