Holmenkollen Ski Museum building places at the base of the Holmenkollen Ski Jump arena. It has believed as the oldest ski museum in the world and being founded in 1923. We can know the origins of skiing as a culture of Norway in particular and Europe in general. The museum contains 4000 years of skiing history and see skis from the vikings, or those that belonging to the Royal Family of Norway.  The oldest evidence of history known from a stone carving about 4000 years old that was found in a region of Norway called Rødøy.
In the carving depicted a male figure standing on top of the board was holding a stick. Models such as this ski has long been suspected to be used by travelers and hunters during the winter in that period. The objects on display are mostly native heritage. for example, there is the oldest ski from Alvdal area and used in the year 600 A.D. This tool is found in the Marshland area in 1906 and is made of pine wood. There are ski history as part of the expedition of scientists to the polar regions, such as  Fridtjof Nansen, Roald Amundsen, Børge Ousland.

The ski simulator next to the Holmenkollen Ski Jump open 365 days a year.  It has a capacity of 12 persons and ride takes above five minutes.  We can enjoy 3D effect to fly down from the Holmenkollen Ski Jump almost 100 km/h. Via movie made by cameras attached to the helmet and skis of TOM HILDE during the FIS Nordic World Cup in Holmenkollen in 2011, the simulator gives you a great feeling of what jumping in “kollen”. This is also completed by sound effects and wind gusts to give the sensation of the true skiing simulator to passengers.
