Reconstruction of a Viking Boat

The Viking boat builders produced high-speed craft with greater craftsmanship than ever before. At the Norwegian Maritime Museum, you can see an exact replica of one of the Viking boats from the Gokstad find.

The reconstruction is on display in the Central Hall at the Norwegian Maritime Museum.

Over a four-year period, we have built a reconstruction of the largest of the three small boats from the Gokstad find. The reconstruction work was carried out using scientific and experimental methods that have provided valuable knowledge about Viking vessels.

The project was carried out with financial support from Sparebankstiftelsen and Stiftelsen UNI.
