Viking Ship Musuem

Scandinavian culture is commonly tied to its voyagers who traveled

around the world establishing settlements, farming, and crafted
high quality ships; who we know as vikings.
This museum is a celebration of these ancestors in their own home.
The prompt for this museum was to accompany five 1:1 scale ships
on display, three of which being authentic viking ships recovered
from their ruins and fixed to be put on display.
The most significant problem faced with this building was
accomodating these large artifacts within the 40,000 sqft allowed
by thr program. Solving this problem allowed for a unique set of
spaces and opportunities for residents to become reconnected with
their past.
