Museum in Vestfold

This museum, information and conference center is located right next to the Viking Age burial mounds field Borrehaugene.
The Midgard Viking Center was opened on May 27, 2000 by Queen Sonja. In 2007, traces of large Viking Age buildings were found on Borrefeltet and in 2013 a 'Guild Hall', a reconstruction of a chieftain's hall, were opened as part of the public facility.
The Midgard Viking Center offers a permanent and changing museum exhibitions, various events and guided tours around Borrehaugene, where the seven large tumuli can currently be seen. The center combines historical research with experiences through activities and demonstrations. The Midgardsblot Festival has been taking place here since 2015, with interruptions due to Corona.
