Lofotr Viking Museum

Step into the Viking Age in the heart of Lofoten

At Borg once stood one of the most powerful Viking chieftain’s farms in the Nordic region. Today, you can visit the world’s longest reconstructed longhouse, smell tar and woodsmoke, experience Viking architecture and craftsmanship, and hear stories that have lived on for more than 1,000 years.

Walk through the landscape the Vikings once called home, try hands-on activities, and discover archaeological finds that changed our understanding of history.

In December, a brand new exhibition opens aT Lofotr Viking Museum

We are now renewing the exhibition from 2011. With new stories, new forms of communication and an even closer encounter with life at Borg and the surrounding area in the Viking Age.
