Historisk Museum (Historical Museum) Review
In partnership with the Vikingskiphuset (in Bygdøy), this forms the University Museum of Cultural Heritage, which concentrates on national antiquities as well as ethnographic and numismatic collections. See the intricately carved stavkirke (wood church) portals and exhibitions on subjects ranging from the Arctic to Asia. You can also gain a deeper understanding of Norway's Viking heritage through artifacts on display here.
