Craftsmen

In summer, Lofotr Viking Museum has several craftsmen at work in the Chieftain’s House. Meet the wood carver, our textile workers, the shoe- and leatherworker, and learn about their crafts. This offer varies slightly from day to day. The craftsmen in the house are there to show you their craft and answer to your questions. Shoe production, tablet weaving, needle binding or wood carving are some of the things you can get an insight into. Down at the lake, you can see the Viking ship, and even sail on it. Here we have skilled Viking sailors who have a deep knowledge about ships, sails and sailing.
