Every year in June, we invite you to Western Norway's largest Viking festival at the Viking garden in Avaldsnes.

"Vikings" from all over Europe gather here. Historic surroundings, with reconstructed buildings from the Viking Age, set a nice setting and a wonderful atmosphere around the event. This is a meeting place for friendship and cultural development.

Visit the Viking encampment and browse the market stalls. The Viking Festival is in its 27th year this year!

Autumn Holidays = Museum Kids Week. Discover prehistory, Roman times and the Middle Ages. Participate in sword fighting, archery and make your own felt bracelet!

Music-archaeological studies often draw to a large extent on experimental activities, which are more and more reflected in the scientific discourse, as the subject evolves. This symposium acknowledges current trends in the experimental reconstruction and making of ancient musical instruments, and in experimental playing.
