New Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde

Project description:

With the grant, The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde will construct a new museum building and upgrade its existing facilities. The new museum will help safeguard the five original Viking ships for future generations while enhancing the museum’s overall capacity and visitor facilities. The surrounding landscape will be restored as coastal meadow, creating a setting that more closely reflects the natural environment and vegetation that characterised the region during the ships’ heyday. Across the museum grounds, the project will establish a seamless connection between the museum, the harbour, the fjord and the city
