We enjoyed the museum very much. The reconstructed long hall is amazing, we enjoyed the English presentation and felt we learned quite a lot. The presenters were in period dress. There was a wood carver working on an ornate piece, we learned that fabric die was made from plants, think blueberries, etc. The wood was painted with pigments from minerals. There were displays of carding wool, making it nto thread, and weaving. Dried Cod fish, animal pellets, game birds, etc were on display. Weaving with various natural, fibrous, and flexible plant materials. There's a great deal to see in the long hall. In the summer you may take a ride in a traditional Viking boat. We were there Sept 2 and were able to throw axes, shoot bow and arrows. There is a boat maintenance building at the water. There are hogs, Nordland horses, and sheep that we saw. The movie was interesting. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable.
