During the summer, the museum’s large courtyard is open for relaxation and adventure. Whether you are 5 or 105, challenge a friend to a tug-of-war or try shooting a bow and arrow. Test Viking Age board games and clothing.
From June 11, there will be an archaeological jewellery workshop in the courtyard every day between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM. Children are welcome to try on life as an archaeologist and dig up beads at our excavation site with which they can create Viking Age jewelry.
On select dates, the Huskarlarna group will demonstrate Viking combat techniques in the courtyard.
