This museum holds some of the best kept treasures of Norway's history. What you see here are not models of ships, but the real thing. Some of the most important built in AD 800. Fascinating for any one who is interested in history. But don't expect to make this the pit stop for lunch. It has no restaurant.

you can't go all the way and not visit the Viking Ship museum... do it once!

Lots of information regarding the vikings and... More

Spent some time here and it was worth it. It is pretty amazing to see these boats, good viewing of them as well. It is a small museum but is a must see.

Very interesting display of not just the beautiful old ships, retrieved from the mud years ago , but also smaller exhibits, cataloguing the life of people at that time.
