A museum for children

The Viking ship Museum is for children of all ages.
See the 1,000 year old original Viking ships in the Viking Ship Hall and find their exact reconstruction in the Museum Harbour. Go on board the two copies - a cargo ship filled with goods from the Viking world of trade and a warship equipped for battle - tied up at the quay in the museum's East Room.
Here you can also meet the museum guides, who will tell exiting stories about the Vikings, their life and voyages and will display swords, helmets, a chain mail, axes, walrus teeth, skates made of bone and drinking glasses.
