This 12th century stave church was transported from Gol to Oslo and reconstructed in 1884 as part of the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History's open air museum
A closer view of the stave church. The interior of the building is from the original church, but the exterior had to be rebuilt when the church was moved; the new exterior was based on the Borgund stave church in Sogn on the western coast of Norway.

Excavated from the Oslofjord area, the 9th century Oseberg ship (housed in Oslo's Viking Ship Museum) was used as a tomb for a wealthy woman. It was customary for Vikings to bury the dead in boats, along with food, animals and both useful and decorative objects.
