We went 40 years ago and it's still worth a visit to see the amazing restoration of such ancient vessels. The museum is well laid-out and the exhibits quite fascinating. Recommended.

This isn't a flashy and modern building, but the interior is absolutely perfect for displaying these ships that the Norwegians clearly treasure so greatly.

This tiny museum tells a comprehensive story of Norway's Viking History and Heritage. Good displays and good explanation as well. You will need about an hour to see it all.
