Nordic prehistory, the Viking world, modern history and ethnographic collections fill a former palace. A museum to take section by section rather than all at once, ideal on a grey day.
Our tipChoose two sections, Prehistory and Vikings for example, rather than skimming through everything. Tickets are slightly cheaper online.
Closed on Mondays from November to March, open every day from April to October.
