A Viking museum for all ages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who were the Vikings, really? Were they only plundering warriors, as popular culture so often portrays them? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At The Viking Museum, you will gain a nuanced and historically grounded understanding of the Viking Age. Here, you will encounter stories of the women, children and men who lived their lives on farms in Scandinavia \u2013 as well as the bold seafarers who travelled across Europe for trade and raids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our interactive exhibition features archaeological artefacts, historically reconstructed environments and in-depth stations that offer an engaging museum experience for both children and adults. Our guides, dressed in Viking-era clothing, are on site to answer questions and bring history to life through personal storytelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
