The Vikings are known for being violent and ruthless warriors. However, they were also farmers, skilled craftsmen and traders. On display at the V?KINGR exhibition, you will find familiar and exquisite artefacts representing different aspects of life, death and society.
The exhibition portrays three important aspects of the Viking era: journeys, wars and a changing society. Vikingr is the Norse word for Viking and was used by seafarers, maritime warriors and long-distance travelers. Today the word vikingr is used to describe anyone with Norse origins who lived during the Viking Age.
Through this guided tour, you will get the chance to learn more about this interesting topic, which is an important part of Norwegian history.
You can read more about the exhibition on the museums webpage.
