Autumn Break Among Draugr and Monsters

24/10/24-1/11/26

In the darkness of the autumn break, creatures from the Viking Age come to life at The Viking Museum. Join a spooky family tour and hear a draugr, a Viking Age zombie, tell tales from a world where the boundary between the living and the dead was not always so clear.

Do you dare to meet the Völva and have your future foretold? The Völva, or seeress, will be at the museum every day during the autumn break, between 14:00 and 16:00.

Don’t miss the Monster Hunt, where the whole family can search for strange creatures from the Viking Age and Norse mythology and collect them in their very own Bestiary.

On 31 October, there will also be a special themed tour about blót, Viking Age sacrificial ceremonies, at 14:00 (replacing the regular Swedish guided tour).

During your visit, you can also meet Vikings, explore historical environments and experience the dramatised ride Ragnfrid’s Saga.

Just in time for the autumn break, it will be even easier for the whole family to discover the Viking Age. From 24 October, children under the age of 15 can enjoy free admission to The Viking Museum when accompanied by an adult. Tickets will be released soon.

Welcome to an autumn break filled with history, storytelling and just the right amount of chills on Djurgården.
