Historical Museum, Heritage museum in Oslo, Norway
The Historical Museum displays over three million objects spanning from the Stone Age through the Viking Age to the Middle Ages of Norway.
The museum building, designed by architect Henrik Bull, opened its doors in 1904 as part of the University of Oslo cultural institutions.
The museum features permanent exhibitions about Viking culture and medieval religious artifacts, including the VÍKINGR collection of archaeological discoveries.
Visitors can join guided tours that explore different themes, access digital exhibits, and purchase historical books and Viking-inspired items at the museum shop.
The museum collection includes one of the two most complete Viking helmets discovered in the world, representing military equipment from that period.
