Viking Festival Weekend!
Inside a Viking museum.
The island the Viking Festival is held AND
the island where Vikings once lived.
Notice how the Viking helmet does NOT
have horns? Horns on Viking helmets is
a common myth few people know about.
Old Norwegian building/homes have grass
on the roof.
Viking jewelry
Notice the patterns and art work in the spoons.
Basket weaving
Viking clothes
Swords
More Viking helmets.
Shoes were a little different 1,000 years ago.
Viking instruments
Big ole piece of meat!
Homemade soap
Bows and arrows
Inside a Viking home/building.
A Viking king once lived here.
An original stone from the Viking era. It's
difficult to see but up close there are original
Viking inscriptions on the stone. The Vikings
had their own alphabet and language called
"Runer".
Young children enjoy going out on a boat
ride similar to the boats Vikings once used.
Child's jacket
A man cleaning his sword.
Viking horns
Horse gear made of iron.
Reindeer hides used for bedding and clothing.
Belts and other accessories.
A nice homemade wooden chair.
Authentic Viking warrior outfit.
Herbs and Spices
An old Church we viewed on the walk back to the
car. It has nothing to do with Vikings or the festival.
Original Viking stone.
Vikings often placed stones/rocks to mark
certain areas. Rumor has it that once this
rock touches the church, doomsday will
occur. The rock is very close but not yet
touching.
