Viking Museum (solo trip)

The name is misleading. It is not really a museum, it is a place where some remains were discovered, which are now exhibited in a room. And this room, no bigger than a studio apartment, is misleadingly called a museum. The price is low, 30 Danish kroner, but there is not much to see there. The tour of the room can probably be done in a few minutes. I do not regret visiting this place, but my expec...

The Viking Museum lives up to its name and then some. You will feel immersed in Viking lore walking through its halls, a large quantity of artifacts in here are in a truly impressive state of preservation. The bog bodies plus extensive captions make this a visit here an enriching anthropological experience.

Too small, no staff to help explain the place. Fully self guided. Mostly a satellite location for the moesgaard museum. The place is also quite dark, to protect some of the artifacts in the museum, so do take note if you are ever there. But generally you can give this place a miss. Most of the exhibits are in the pictures, so just save the money and buy yourself some souvenirs instead.

I loved this fairly small local museum. It has a lot of local history that really makes walking the streets of Århus meaningful and inspiring. Look for the sign in order to find this museum.

Lovely but small (service) museum (1 hour of reading and exploring everything), but most lovely thing is it's actually located on exact excavation spot, describing life in viking settlement, especially local one. With locations of craftsman, ramparts and how the local dug houses looked (with one replica).
