LEARN IN A NEW WAY

The Viking Planet aims to connect audiences with the Viking times in an innovative and engaging way. You can meet Viking holograms and explore the iconic designs and symbols from the Viking age.

A very enjoyable experience

A very interesting and engaging museum which immerses you in the viking world through use of VR, holographics and interactive displays. The staff are very friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who visits Oslo.

This is a must-see in Oslo

It is remarkable how they have created holograms, so realistic you feel like you are there with them. This is the best way to learn history. The kids LOVED it (so so much more than the museum). They have interactive programs where you create your own boat or person - the kids loved this. The highlight was the Viking ship - oh my goodness. This is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

Definitely 100% the Viking planet is worth a visit

Excellent experience, loads of fresh ideas on how to present Viking history. Considering this is a very new venture it feels polished and professional. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. If you take time to appreciate each different area, REALLY take the time you will get a lot out of it. For Oslo, it is very well priced. I'm not sure if it is included on the Oslo card yet, but if not it should be.
