Museet Ribes Vikinger

Museet Ribes Vikinger is a cultural history museum in Ribe dedicated to presenting the lives of Vikings through archaeological finds and physical objects. The collection features tools, weapons, and daily items that excavations in the region have uncovered.

The museum opened in 1992 to showcase the Viking period and its importance for the region where it is located. It was built within Denmark's oldest town, giving it a special connection to the centuries it describes.

The museum shows how Vikings lived through reconstructed spaces and demonstrations of everyday crafts that people used in the settlement. These working exhibitions reveal the skills and habits that shaped daily life in the medieval town.

The museum sits in central Ribe and is easy to reach on foot from the town center. Visitors can use a smartphone application to access audio guides during their visit.

The collection holds authentic archaeological objects from 700 to 1000 AD that reveal how Ribe changed during this period. These finds allow visitors to see the gradual transformation of the town and how people's lives evolved.
