The museum is very interesting. The museum shows 3 viking burial ships as well as different artifacts that was found in them.
I thought I knew, in my mind, what a Viking longboat looked like. However can prepare you for seeing the real deal up close. They are beautifully crafted vessels and we are luck that these three examples have been saved. Even if boats are not you thing there would be something at which to marvel.
If you do go to...

This museum is featuree in the movie at the end of the Norway exhibit at WDW in Orlando -- and I always wanted to see it live. The museum has 3 amazing viking burial ships that were excavated and offer a unique opportunity to see them up close. It takes 45 minutes or so to get a look at all...

There are only a couple viking ships, but they and the few side exhibits are quite interesting to look at. The various higher vantage points are excellent since the ships are so large and difficult to see from the ground. This museum is definitely worth a visit if Oslo'll be your only Scandinavian stop to learn about the vikings, but...

As we visited Scandinavia for the first time ,it was a must for us to learn about Vickings, their ships ,other objects they used , and also some sceletons. The best way, was to visit Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. It is a small museum but very interesting. Outside, where the parking place is, you can find the Museum's kiosk.
A really interesting museum. I really enjoyed my visit here. A highlight of Oslo for me! The ships are fascinating and the stories behind them give a real insight into Viking culture. So glad I visited!
Great for the history buffs among us. The best preserved viking ship with amazing details still alive in the wood craft. You cant help but wonder how it was back then...
