Eastern Norway » Midgard

At Borre, majestic grave mounds bear witness to a time of greatness now known as the Viking Age. The Vikings are shrouded in myth and evoke images of boats and beards. A ship from the Viking age was excavated at Borre in 1852, and the findings are exhibited here. At Midgard, you will experience the diversity that life during the Viking times held. Midgard is a resource centre where visitors get to experience nuanced stories about people living more than a thousand years ago. We wish to create curiosity and stimulate interest for an epoch where Scandinavians put their mark on Europe, or to put it differently; when European way of living came to Scandinavia.

If you are the playful type, Midgard has its own outdoors arena where axe throwing, archery, balance logs and other challenges await you. The young ones get the opportunity to try out as archaeologists and join an excavation. Have you thrown enough axes lately? It can be pure therapy for children and grown ups alike.

Food, experiences and stories are important ingredients in life. Midgard adapts to visitors needs with tailormade packages. We encourage groups to make contact with us in advance and book a guide that will provide a unique experience. At Midgard we have all the equipment for seminars and conferences. We have a café with splendid view. The art of meeting people is a quality we regard highly. Let us give you memories for the future!
