The Viking Ship Museum is located in the Bigdo peninsula of Oslo, the capital of Norway, and its exhibits date back to the ninth century, and is considered one of the most important tourist places in Norway, where it includes the best Viking ships in the world, along with some of the ruins that were discovered in the Viking tombs around the Oslo Strait .
The museum’s most prominent feature is the display of the Viking adventure movie, which continues throughout the day, in screens filled with ceilings and internal walls.
It also includes discoveries from several ships such as Guxstad, Oseberg and Tion, as well as small boats, equipment, textiles, household items, and a beautiful cart.
