Many children were fascinated by stories of Vikings: tough, northern warriors who crossed wild oceans in wooden boats. Here in Oslo you can see some of the finest examples of excavated Viking ships. It’s part of the Museum of Cultural History of the University of Oslo, and houses Viking ships found at Tune, Gokstad, and Oseberg. There are also artifacts from the mound cemetery at Borre. It’s an amazing collection of unique items. The thought of people actually braving the North Atlantic in these open wooden boats makes you wonder at their courage and skill.

The museum is closed on holidays.
