Vikingemuseet Ladby is a situated just outside of the small town of Kerteminde on the island of Funen, Denmark. This Viking Museum sits close by the burial mound in which a Viking king was laid to rest in his boat along with horses and other offerings to his gods more than 1000 years ago. The site was first excavated in 1934 and concrete dome cover has been constructed to protect and allow access to the site. The wood has long since gone but the outline of the boats hull, planking and iron rivets can be clearly seen along with the skeletons of the horses, anchor and other adornments. The museum narrates the story of the discovery and allows visitors a glimpse of what life would have been like back then. It has a reconstruction of boat in a lower room with artefacts and objects found at the site displayed above. On an adjacent plot enthusiasts are currently building a full scale replica using the same tools and methods used by the Viking shipbuilders. I would strongly recommend you visit the Museum on a day that the shipbuilders are working on the replica as it was fascinating to watch.
