- Javier SianesSeptember 21, 2014The best place to see real viking ships in great conservation state. Don't miss surrounds with greats houses. Enjoy a walk from here to maritime museum and take a ferry there to come back to Oslo
- Débora FrançaSeptember 29, 2015Best Museum in the island! Amazing viking ship and history! The museum has 3 ships. It's a small but awesome museum.
- Cenker KöseJune 3, 2018If you are watching Vikings, you should absolutely visit this museum in Oslo to see the real & original Viking Ship or items. Actually even if you don’t watch The Vikings, you should visit here :)
- Cato Conan PedersenJuly 20, 2019The world's most important and famous Viking deserves a museum of it's own. But the museum should have A LOT more interesting things. It's an embarrassing museum to show Viking that important history
- Anya RoxieApril 8, 2019If you are crazy about Vikings that’s the best place for you and one of rare chances to touch this epoch. There are two huge drakkars there which date back to the IXth century.
- Vincent MasatAugust 27, 2018That was so good! 3 Vikings’ boats and other pieces of vikings history. A great time. Pretty cheap entrance ticket as well. I definitely recommend it.
- Se7enthAngelDecember 27, 2016Free with Oslo Pass. Toilets are downstairs. Lovely gift shop. Expect to spend an hour or 2 here. Bus 30, get off at Vikingskipene, 2min walk to the museum.
- Alexandre BenincáSeptember 22, 2017Amazing museum, totally worth the visit. The Viking ships are HUGE and the encarvings so detailed. Check the OsloPass, it gives you free access to the museums and ferry, it may be worthwhile.
- Mascha CollierAugust 17, 2014Three long boats plus other finds on display. Some beautiful Viking carving. The building is a wonderful setting for the ships. We combined with a visit to Fram museum (recommend doing Fram last).
- Kevin RaynorAugust 29, 2017Easiest way to get there is by the 30 bus. Great museum to visit only 10 dollar student price. Very quick and easy museum to see.
- Sam J.April 9, 2016Quite small museum but you have to go there if you're in Oslo for a few days. They have a good collection of lifestyle items. Very cool.
- S PAugust 14, 2019Really worthwhile if you are in Oslo, for both young and old. Gives a good appreciation for the seafaring Vikings of old...
- Jenna AndersonSeptember 27, 2014The museums in Oslo are excellent and this one is no exception. The museum is purpose built for the ships, and they are displayed wonderfully. Great collection of viking artifacts.
- Josh DrønenJuly 21, 2017Up-close look at two Vikings ships from as early as the 9th century. Other artifacts too. Outdoor cafe. Right on the bus route.
- Yarn LamFebruary 9, 2019It’s small but full of history about the Vikings. Make this your first stop before hopping back onto the 30 bus to the Fram Museum. Entry fee covered by Oslo Pass.
- valerio minettiAugust 20, 2015The navi vichinghe conservate in modo eccellente, ricca esposizione di strumenti e suppellettili a corredo. Three original viking warships, and all the tools and weapons they used to carry.
- Al B.November 10, 2018REAL Viking ships are here! Experience all 3 and watch the Viking movie for a historical view of how the Vikings lived.
- Marius WatzMay 20, 2014Cliche and guidebook appeal aside, the Viking ships are beautiful and this oldschool museum is very charming. Just avoid the tour bus visits.
- BeaApril 3, 2015The location of the museum is very peculiar since it is inside an old church. The exposition is essential but well done. Recommended.
- Michael BlitchJune 19, 2014Get your ticket at the National Historic Center/Museum. A ticket purchased either place may be used in both within 48 hours, but the ticket at the History Museum is 10kr less than here.
- Marjorie CAugust 3, 2015If you're not an avid Viking aficionado, you can be in and out in under 15 min. Get NOK 10 off if you have a hop on hop off ticket.
- Suzi WaddellMarch 8, 2018I really enjoyed this museum. It’s pretty small, but fascinating. The video they screen every 15mins if worth a watch.
- Kathryn PhillipsJuly 26, 2016Very cool - you don't need more than 30 minutes but definitely worth the short walk from the Folk Museum
- From East CoastOctober 5, 2016Seemingly small museum, but plenty to read about and take photos of. The old ships are massive and worth checking out!
- Chris R (thechristophe)September 7, 2018Nice lil museum on history of viking ships. It could have more to see given the price...
- h w ø ø wSeptember 8, 2011The Viking Ship Museum presents great Viking ship discoveries from Gokstad, Oseberg and Tune as well as other finds from Viking tombs around the Oslo Fjord.
- Stiina 🍀June 2, 2017Amazing and interesting animated show runs beside one of the ships. Definately worth waiting for!
- Serkan GörürMay 26, 2016Seeing three of the best designed ships of 8-9th century AD is a cool experience.
- Christopher HarrisAugust 29, 2014Go up the steps next to each boat to get a birds-eye view of each Viking ship.
- LindaJuly 30, 2017Learning about the ferocious Vikings. Still wandering if they buried the horses and dogs alive in their graves.
- Mariana RodriguesJune 2, 2016Quite interesting - short visit. Unfortunately it takes some time on bus from the center to get there
- Jan-Nicolas HelfJune 3, 2017The ships are impressive but I was missing further information about their construction. Overall too tourisistic and too little scientific for my taste.
- DanielleAugust 10, 2015I've obviously heard about vikings, but seeing the ships and artifacts in-person is neat.
- Beauty In BlackAugust 19, 2014Actually I've expected more of this museum, 10-15 mins enough. The price is 60 NOK for adults. With OsloPass is free ;-)
- Pete MorrisOctober 5, 2013Superb attraction although not a huge amount to see I completely recommend it.
- Sean MarneyMarch 29, 2014We showed up 20 minutes before closing and got half off admission. It was still enough time to see the ships.
- Katerina👑🔨💍 IeromonachouFebruary 9, 2018Three oversized ships make you actually live the Viking era!
- Marine MATHIEUAugust 29, 2010Very small museum but nice ! You'll see big beautiful real Viking ships and few Viking objects. Read more
- JmorsaApril 15, 2014A must see if you come to Oslo. But it's little and the QR codes to listen the podcast are impossible to read. :-/
- Eva Kristin SethSeptember 9, 2016A bit dark and crowded, I'm looking forward to the new museum opening in 2020!
- Abdulla7November 5, 2015Youll get two tickets 1 for this museum and one for the other one in another place.
