VISIT THE LOUVRE OF CHILDREN’S ART
At The International Museum of Children’s Art in Oslo, you can see the
world through children’s eyes and understand how children’s art is a
carrier of aesthetic values. The museum views children’s art as a living
part of folk art and also an important element of our national and
universal culture. The right to have and preserve one’s own culture is
an accepted principle when referring to nations or parts of a population. GET INSPIRED BY

WELCOME TO
THE VIKING PLANET

Explore Viking history in a new and exciting way!
The world’s first digital Viking museum allows you to explore the life of the
Vikings in a new and exciting way. At The Viking Planet, the Viking Age is
resurrected with the help of VR technology, holograms, interactive screens
and 270-degree film. Learn and experience the everyday life of the Vikings,
join a voyage, climb aboard a Viking ship in a storm and take a picture
of yourself as a Viking. Our VR film was produced together with Ridley
Scott Associates and won the award for best VR film in the UK.
Our new attractions are an interactive timeline of the most important
events in the Viking Age, as well as an interactive experience about the
most significant Viking battles. Explore the Oseberg and Gokstad ships
as well as many others objects digitally – all on loan from Museum of
the Viking Age. Ferd, our new VR game, lets you fight against Vikings
using a bow and arrow as well as a sword.
Visit our wonderful museum shop packed with Viking-inspired products.
