The sharp clash of steel against steel rings out across the Strandengen — the Viking Ship Museum’s “Viking camp,” where visitors can take part in a variety of summer activities and board reconstructed Viking ships.

From Monday 14 to Sunday 20 July, Viking warrior Tom Jersø visits the Viking Ship Museum. He brings with him an impressive collection of replica Viking weapons: swords, axes, shields, lances, spears, and arrows. Museum guests are invited to hold the weapons, feel the weight of the sword — and perhaps be surprised by its unexpected lightness and refinement.

You can experience the Viking warrior demonstrating Viking combat techniques twice daily at 11:30 and 14:30.
