He undertook three major expeditions: the Kon-Tiki Expedition, the Ra Expeditions and the Tiger Expedition.
The Kon-Tiki Expedition (1947) – Thor Heyerdahl attempted to prove his theory that Polynesia could be populated from South America and not Asia. He pointed to plant life, the winds and ocean currents as good arguments, and believed local oral tradition suggested the same.
The Ra Expeditions (1969 and 1970) – Heyerdahl tried to link the South American Indians with the ancient civilizations of Africa and the Middle East.
The Tigris Expedition (1977) – Heyerdahl wanted to test his theories about contacts across the ocean between prehistoric civilizations. The aim of the journey around the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean was to show that Mesopotamia and Egypt could have had trade links across the sea several thousand years ago.
Thor Heyerdahl was appointed honorary citizen of Larvik city in 1971, and for his 75th birthday in 1989, a monument made of Larvikite was erected.
The monument stands on Tollerodden.

About Festiviteten
The original building has a history dating back to 1793 as a private residence, and after almost 100 years it was rebuilt and inaugurated as a party and assembly hall in 1874. After nearly 140 years as a party and assembly hall, theater, town hall and room for numerous cultural events, it has with impressive work given new life as Gjenbrukshuset Festiviteten, rehabilitated as much as possible with recycled materials and furniture.
One of Larvik's honorary citizens Ingvar Ambjørnsen grew up on the slopes behind Festiviteten, and the cafe "Ellings" is named after one of the novel characters Elling in one of Ambjørnsen's books.
Festiviteten, as it appears today, was officially opened for Larvik's 350th city anniversary in September 2021.
