Foteviken Museum

The museum complex spans across 70,000 square meters featuring a reconstructed Viking settlement with traditional buildings and outdoor exhibits focused on Nordic history.

Founded in 1995, the museum originated from archaeological studies of Viking ships discovered in Foteviken Bay and the historical Battle of Fotevik in 1134.

The museum functions as an open-air facility where visitors interact with interpreters in period clothing demonstrating traditional Viking Age crafts and daily activities.

The museum opens its seasonal program on May Day, offering guided tours, educational workshops, and research facilities dedicated to Viking studies and maritime archaeology.

Visitors can participate in living history experiences within the Viking reserve, following period-specific practices without modern equipment or contemporary clothing.
