Abstract
If you are visiting Norway, you will probably make a stop at the Viking ship museum. It is dedicated to the cultural history of the period of Viking raids into Europe between 800 and 1050. The earliest burial site remains, including ships and beautiful handcrafted furnishings, were excavated more than 100 years ago and reflect, among many other public ventures, the search for a national identity. Many would see this as highly problematic, since the Norsemen consisted of three peoples: Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians, or what one would today consider Scandinavians. However, they have always been closely connected.
