In 1903, a Norwegian farmer discovered an ornate piece of wood sticking out of the mud.
One year later, an almost totally intact Viking ship burial had been uncovered, along with incredible artefacts and the bodies of two high-status women.
Today the women have raised a wealth of fascinating questions and their ship remains one of the best-preserved Viking artefacts in the world.
The Oseberg ship, its artefacts and the female burials will be next on display in 2027, when Oslo’s rebuilt Museum of the Viking Age is expected to reopen.
