Lofotr Viking Museum
Lofotr Vikingmuseum
An 83-metre replica of a chieftain's longhouse, built on the site of an archaeological find. Costumed guides take you back to life a thousand years ago.
The museum is in Borg on Vestvågøy. In the 1980s, excavations here uncovered the largest Viking Age chieftain's longhouse ever found. Inside the reconstructed longhouse you can watch craft demonstrations and sample mead. In summer there are Viking boat rowing, archery and Viking feasts (advance booking required), and the Viking Festival takes place in early August. Admission is about 250 Norwegian kroner, and winter opening hours are shorter. It is about a 15-minute drive from Leknes.
Opening hours
Summer 10:00–19:00; shorter hours in other seasons
