The museum is actually a Timex Museum is dedicated to the history of Timex watches and clocks. The skinny on this is that the owners were long time friends of Thor Heyerdahl and they dedicated a whole floor to the Kon-Tiki expedition. Very cool replicas of artifacts discovered on Easter Island and Peru. They also trace the route of the Kon-Tiki and Thor's other voyages. There are clips of the Kon-Tiki documentary that show the crew capturing fish and cooking them up on the raft! Very cool! Definitely one of the highlights of the trip. (Thanks for the tip, tikigreg). I even bought a Timex watch with image of the Moai on the face -- Tiki watch! I would like to see that Tiki watch! Cool picture I borrowed from The TIMEX website. Do you have more? Please share! Viva New England!
