The farm, smithy, Viking ships and boathouse area are brought to life by guides, arts and crafts and activities \u2013 and everyone is dressed in period costumes. Outside you will see traditional races of livestock thriving in the fertile cultural landscape.

On the basis of finds made during extensive archaeological digs on the site, the museum presents new and fascinating information about the Vikings of the north. It is the largest building that has ever been unearthed from the Viking Age, and it represents the pinnacle of the aristocracy of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Lofotr Viking museum is unique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The chieftain\u2019s residence, which was reconstructed in 1995, is a \u201cthree-nave long-house\u201d measuring an impressive 83 metres in length. The building comprises a living area with a central hearth, an entrance hall with two openings, a storage area, a barn and a banqueting hall with a large central fireplace. During the guided tour, you will have the chance to see demonstrations of traditional crafts and to look at some of the finds made here.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Foto-Kjell-Ove-Storvik-Lofotr-Vikingmuseum-144.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Foto-Kjell-Ove-Storvik-Lofotr-Vikingmuseum-144.jpg\" alt=\"Lofotr Vikingmuseum can also be visited in winter \u00a9 Kjell Ove Storvik\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Foto-Kjell-Ove-Storvik-Lofotr-Vikingmuseum-144.jpg\" data-caption=\"Lofotr Vikingmuseum can also be visited in winter \u00a9 Kjell Ove Storvik\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/000783_Terje-Rakke-Nordic-Life_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" data-size=\"1214x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/000783_Terje-Rakke-Nordic-Life_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" alt=\"Summer is a great time to visit Lofotr Viking museum \u00a9 Terje Rakke\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/000783_Terje-Rakke-Nordic-Life_www.nordnorge.com_Vestvaagoey.jpg\" data-caption=\"Summer is a great time to visit Lofotr Viking museum \u00a9 Terje Rakke\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Foto-Kjell-Ove-Storvik-Lofotr-Vikingmuseum-102-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Foto-Kjell-Ove-Storvik-Lofotr-Vikingmuseum-102-1.jpg\" alt=\"Delve into Viking History \u00a9 Kjell Ove Storvik\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Foto-Kjell-Ove-Storvik-Lofotr-Vikingmuseum-102-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Delve into Viking History \u00a9 Kjell Ove Storvik\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Lofotr Vikingmuseum can also be visited in winter \u00a9 Kjell Ove Storvik<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Summer is a great time to visit Lofotr Viking museum \u00a9 Terje Rakke<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Delve into Viking History \u00a9 Kjell Ove Storvik<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take part in the Viking Festival in summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to wander among the Vikings at Borg more than 1,000 years ago?
