The Oseberg Ship in Oslo

The Oseberg Ship, which is now on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, was discovered in a burial chamber in Southern Norway in 1904 and is considered one of the richest and most important grave finds from the Viking Age. The museum also houses two other ships, the Gokstad Ship and the Tune Ship, as well as other artefacts. The cruciform layout with barrel vaults, across which the exhibits are spread, creates an impressive setting. Just around the corner is also the Kon-Tiki Museum, well worth seeing, dedicated to explorer and adventurer Thor Heyerdahl.
