The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde is the home of five world famous Viking ships and it is the Danish museum for ships, seafaring and boatbuilding culture in ancient and medieval times.
The museum is known for the unique interaction between the exhibition of the original Viking ships and the museum's live intermediation environment, where you can experience reconstructed Viking ships, excellent boatbuilding and specialized, martime crafts.
Here, tales of our maritime prehistory meet in a living and modern museum, where museum visitors are involved in history through dialogue and active participation.
The museum is beautifully located at Roskilde Fjord and consists of the Viking Ship Hall, the Museum Island with boatyard, workshops and museum harbor.
The Viking Ship Museum attracts guests from all over the world and is also an important gathering place and recreation area with a rich range of activities and events for both children and adults, making a visit to the Viking Ship Museum something special all year round.
