On Tuesday, September 28, and Wednesday, September 29, we\u2019ll be demonstrating plant dyeing outside the museum. <\/p>\n\n<p>On All Hallows\u2019 Eve, October 31, we hold our annual Alvablot, one of the most important Viking sacrificial rites of the year, honoring departed ancestors. The blot begins with a themed guided tour at 15:30 in the exhibition and concludes with a historically inspired ceremony and song outside the museum. To join the guided tour, regular museum admission applies, but it\u2019s also possible to attend only the blot, which is free of charge and starts at 16:00.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Throughout the week, you can also try Viking coin minting daily between 14:00\u201316:00 and strike your very own coin.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every day during the break we offer family tours at 11:30 and 13:30, with a slightly spookier twist than usual.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Guided tours during the autumn break:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>10:30 English<br\/>11:30 Family tour (in Swedish)<br\/>12:30 English<br\/>13:30 Family tour (in Swedish)<br\/>14:30 English<br\/>15:30 English<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>25\/10\/25-2\/11\/25 During the autumn break, the museum will be filled with mythical monsters and creatures.Join the monster hunt, where you\u2019ll search the exhibition for dragons, giants, and beasts, and record them in a bestiary.
