Viking Loot - Museum of Gothenburg
Between Oden and Christ in Göteborgs Stadsmuseum
This Viking exhibition features the only Viking ship in Sweden that is on display, intriguing statues of Norse gods, and an array of weaponry. The ship remains were far less exciting than the complete ships I saw in Oslo but the display was excellent and impactful. The statues of the gods immediately reminded me of my stepfather's chess set, a replica of the "Lewis chessmen." Thought to have been carved by Vikings in the 12th century, the ivory pieces were found in Scotland.

Chilling poetry that captures the Vikings mentality at war (forgive the blur)
Excellent travel photos! Cool info. Thanks!
Thank you, @spreekilla. I'm glad you liked it.
Imagine the strength you'd have to have to use the battle axe or war hammer in combat for 20-30 minutes straight.
While wearing chain mail? What stamina. I'm tired just thinking about it.
As you say, the boat's remains aren't as impactful as the other exhibits, wow!
Thanks a lot for sharing and the education too. Namaste :)
Hahaha. There is no comparison, really, but the Museum of Gothenburg did a nice job with what they had. Namaste.
