Musée très intéressant. Très belle exposition sur les Vikings, très agréable à parcourir, très bien documentée. Ludique et participative.

Lots of really interesting Viking exhibits and early history. We started on level 1 but soon realized the exhibits were all in swedish, some had a few lines of English. We went back to desk and they said we could hire earphones to listen in english and to start at early history and through to Viking. It worked well with early history but then we entered Viking exhibition at the end for some bizarre reason so audio made no sense. We were so exhausted at the end that we didnt even go upstairs for modern history. A great museum if you can understand swedish or are more technically competent than me!
