The Viking Ship Museum

The Viking Ship Museum is Denmark's national ship museum for medieval and prehistoric vessels, located in Roskilde. The Viking Ship Museum provides fascinating insight into the world of the Vikings and their age. The Skuldelev ships are the five Viking ships on show at the Viking Ship Museum. They were excavated close at Skuldelev, maybe to blockade enemy vessels.

The Viking ships range in length from a 30 metre warship called "wreck 2" to an 11.2 metre fishing craft. Each one has been meticulously restored. The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde features an exhibit on a Norwegian attack, as well as a significant collection of actual ancient vessels and reconstructions.

The Viking Ship Hall, Museum Island with its boatyard and workshops, and museum harbor are all located on the magnificent Roskilde Fjord. The original Skuldelev Viking ships are the major focus of the museum, although there is also a modest display about the Roskilde ships and numerous temporary exhibitions with a broader scope. The Viking Ship Museum draws visitors from all over the world and serves as a significant gathering and entertainment location, offering a variety of activities and events for both children and adults. It is regarded as among the most beautiful historical sites in Denmark.
