The Viking Museum

The Viking Museum is a small but informative and comprehensive museum. It tells you everything you need to know about the vikings, including their history, stories, and impact on the modern world. The staff were all in authentic dresses, which was very cute. I also joined the English tour, which was very interesting and informative. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. Recommended if you're interested in Nordic history!

Great museum. A lot of exhibits accompanied by a lot of information. The audio guide was also really good. The ride at the end was unexpected but amazing. The staff were also super friendly. I unfortunately did not get the name of the gentleman at the ticket booth but he was incredibly kind and funny! There is also a restaurant at the museum which looked quite fancy.

Seing all the negative reviews about the museum being theatrical and not historically accurate, I was sceptical of coming here, but all my doubts faded when I entered this place. Don't come here if you have PhD in iron age history,come here to enjoy the vibe, abstract from reality and learn some history explained with simple language. This is not a typical museum, it is rather experience based on some history. If you have your own era-apropriate clothes, don't be afraid to come here wearing it, become a part of the experience yourself, blend in;) Museum contains of 2 floors, it is not big, but also not as tiny as others describe here. Also, I haven't spotted any severe historical inaccuracies here. The guide Jessika was very knowledgeable and another guide Stefano was also very sweet. Enjoyed the place and the people here so much, that accidentally spend here almost 3h😅(although I think 1h is enough if you want to see only the exibition and prefer avoiding social interactions). With all the fun I had here, I believe the price is very much corresponding to the service you get. If someone from the staff reading this, sending you warm greetings from Latvia 😊

Went here the same day as the VASA and were truly blown away by both. There is a restaurant upstairs but we did not eat there. The exhibits and staff are absolutely wonderful, recommend to do the ride at the end as well. It was such a great experience and we learned a lot!

It is a pleasure to share that this museum is an excellent place to learn about and appreciate the Nordic lifestyle. Even with limited time, we found the tour to be quite enjoyable. Furthermore, an English-speaking guide is available at scheduled times to lead groups through this remarkable museum.

This was a worthwhile experience. We have travelled through Norway, Denmark and finally here to Sweden we have seen many exhibitions on the “Vikings”. We learned even more here. We did the storytelling mead tasting which was a lot of fun and we have learned which meads we wish to have more of. The restaurant food was very good The staff were very helpful and there are several wandering around in authentic dress you can ask any questions. Jessica especially was full of information, passionate and a good storyteller. The ride was an excellent way to bring together what was a “Viking” like within a relatable story There was more about women and their the lives too.

The Viking Museum in Stockholm is a fantastic experience that exceeded all my expectations! It offers the perfect mix of history, storytelling, and interactive elements, making it engaging for both adults and children. The exhibits are beautifully presented, with fascinating artifacts and detailed explanations that bring the Viking era to life in a vivid and accessible way. What really stood out to me was the storytelling — the museum doesn’t just show you objects, it immerses you in the lives, adventures, and culture of the Vikings. One of the highlights for me was the immersive ride that takes you on a journey through a Viking’s life. It’s both educational and entertaining, and done with great attention to detail. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to answer questions and share more fascinating insights about this incredible period of history. The atmosphere is lively, well thought out, and gives you a great sense of what life might have been like over a thousand years ago. If you’re in Stockholm and want a fun cultural experience that also deepens your knowledge, the Viking Museum is an absolute must-visit.

The Viking Museum is a good visit when in Stockholm, although I don’t know how it stacks up against Viking museums in Denmark 🇩🇰 or Norway 🇳🇴. The museum was insightful and the audio guide at the beginning was a great touch. The museum is rather small, but does provide a lot of good information and different artifacts. The Longboat on display was great to see. I completely missed the exhibit that is downstairs, this wasn’t indicated very well hence missing it. The guided tour experience could be improved by narrating whilst walking around the museum to visually describe what you are seeing.

A fascinating and richly detailed museum that is well worth a visit. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely return to explore it in more detail.

Beautiful, informative museum. Not too many artifacts, but overall a great look into Viking life. The ride on the first floor was fun and told the tale of family. I never knew Vikings had slaves! Great for kids.

The museum is small but informative. I went to the viking story ride on the first floor which entails being put in a car and driving through several displays of a viking adventure which I was a big fan of. The second floor gave me some insight of what a true viking was. I only wish that the museum was bigger and it had more artifacts.
