The Viking Age
By Linda Tancs
Danish prehistory culminated in the Viking Age, the period from A.D. 800 to A.D. 1050. During the Viking Age the first kings appeared, who ruled an area roughly corresponding to present-day Denmark and, at the end of the age, also ruled over England and Norway during certain periods. That’s just part of 9,000 years of history you’ll discover at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. Denmark’s largest museum of cultural history, it’s regarded as one of Europe’s best museums. A key exhibit showcases national treasures such as the Sun Chariot (a Nordic Bronze Age artifact discovered in Denmark), the well-preserved remains of the Bronze Age Egtved Girl, and an incredible collection of archaeological finds from the Viking Age. Self-guided and guided tours are available.
