These ships are amazing in person. Up close, the carvings on the ships are quite detailed. The insides are deep, enough to carry many people. What these must have looked like on the open sea, I can only imagine. Standing next to them I felt quite small. A must see, if you can travel to Oslo. That entire peninsula has neat museums and stops to check out, if you have the time.
Absolutely agree! We spent a couple of days exploring all the museums on Bigdoy. I thought the ships were the most spectacular, followed closely by the small stavkirke at the Folksmuset.
