About Viking Museum
The Viking Museum in Aarhus is a small underground exhibition located directly beneath the Nordea building on Sankt Clemens Torv. It was founded in 1968, after archaeologists uncovered historic sites in 1963 and 1964 during the construction of an office building. Visitors experience the excavation site in situ, meaning in its original location, and can view structures and objects from the Viking Age ten feet below street level. The museum is run by the Moesgård Museum and, in addition to information on the history of Aarhus at that time, displays copies of artifacts that are on show at the larger Moesgård Museum.

Small Viking museum located across from the cathedral in the basement of the Nordea Bank. The museum focuses on local history during the Viking Age and most of the displayed items were excavated on site. If you are interested in Viking Age history in general, visit the large Moesgaard Museum (MoMu) south of the city.
