Three boats from the 9th century were on display at the Viking Boat Museum (Vikingskipshuset) on the Bygdøy Peninsula in Oslo. These are the boats from Oseberg, Gokstad and the remains of the ship from Tune. They were found in funeral mounds in southern Norway. You can also admire other antique items, such as a carved carriage and a photo exhibition.
A very valuable find is a 22-meter long boat from Oseberg, adapted to carry a 30-person crew. It is believed that she was the property of the wife of the Viking leader, with her intricately carved sleigh and beautiful decorations, and even kitchen utensils were buried.
For centuries, the boats were hidden in a clay soil, thanks to which they have survived to our times in very good condition. They were unearthed at the turn of the century. The museum is subject to the University of Oslo and is part of the Museum of Cultural History.
