My Photos of Norway’s Viking Museum

I can’t even get over how old these boats are and how well preserved they’ve stayed. The Viking culture is rich in Scandinavia and Oslo has the three largest of any Viking boats still intact housed in their museum.

The Vikings were extremely advanced people. You wouldn’t believe the tools, clothes, houses that they had. I mean, you’re learning about these people that lived thousands of years ago and the descriptions read things like, “and they ate blueberries and cream as an evening snack.” Ok, the museum just said that they ate blueberries and made their own cream. But STILL. You can imagine them eating that as an evening snack, can’t you?

Anyway, throughout the museum, I still very much got a sense of the how sinister the culture could be.
