Jorvik Viking Centre, Archaeological museum in York, England
The Jorvik Viking Centre features indoor guided rides through reconstructed streets and buildings showing daily life in a 9th-century Norse settlement.
Excavations between 1976 and 1981 revealed preserved Viking structures, leading to the museum's establishment at the original archaeological site in 1984.
The museum exhibits 800 artifacts from Viking settlements, including metal coins, pottery, tools, and personal items discovered during Coppergate excavations.
The museum operates from 10:00 to 17:00 between April and October, and from 10:00 to 16:00 from November through March.
Glass floors reveal original excavation layers beneath visitors' feet, displaying authentic timbers and structural elements from the Norse period.
