Jorvik Viking Museum

The Jorvik Viking Museum is the perfect way to discover Viking-Age York, one of the most fascinating periods of the city’s dramatic history. Visitors can discover what life was really like over 1000 years ago in AD 975 and get face-to-face with the Vikings on the very site where archaeologists discovered the remains of the place they once called home. Visitors can also meet the Viking residents, see over 800 items uncovered here, and journey through a reconstruction of actual Viking-Age streets – complete with sounds and smells!
