At the museum today

Can’t remember the last time I went to a museum when not at holiday and such, must have been a few years ago when at Teknisk Museum with my brother Jonas. Anyhow, due to the book King Leopolds Ghost which I read earlier this year …2007/07/05/king_leopold_s_ghost_adam_hochschild
I decided to go to the museum when I saw that they had an exhibition called “Kongospor – Norden i Kongo”. So today we went to see it, first surprise – free admission, why don’t we go to museums more often? We had a bit of luck since just 5 minutes after we came there a guided tour started. To much to read at the exhibition made that an excellent choice. At the end of the guided tour, the guide told us about a son of a Norwegian pilot who had been missing after a crash for 29 years had been there just a few weeks ago. When finished telling that an elderly man raised his voice and said “It was I who flew that plane to Kongo together with Martin”, so then we got 5 minutes more of his story from Kongo. The story about the plane, read it here http://www.tbve.no/nyheter/kongo-mysteriet-oppklart.html
