Dette museet er faktisk en del av det større Kulturhistoriske Museum, som ligger ved Universitetet i Oslo. Inne i museet vil besøkende finne mange forskjellige gjenstander, inkludert noen viktige elementer fra Borre kirkegården, Tune og Oseberg. Vikingskipmuseets største attraksjoner inkluderer de tre skipene fra Tune, Gokstad og Oseberg. En av grunnene til at så mange turister velger å stoppe på Vikingskipmuseet er fordi museet har helt intakte vikingskip der. Det har også en stor utstilling av gjenstander fra vikingtiden, blant annet alt fra sleder og hestevogner til senger, utskjæringer, og bøtter. En rekke gravgods er også utstilt der. Museet går tilbake til 1913 da en professor fra Sverige foreslo at Norges gjenstander fra vikingtiden burde samles på ett sted. To av vikingskipene hadde vært lagret tidligere i et midlertidig tilfluktsrom ved Universitetet i Oslo. Museet ble bygget i seksjoner og starter med hallen hvor Osebergskipet er plassert. Denne hallen var ferdig 1926 og de neste to hallene ble ferdigstilt i 1932. Museets siste hall ble satt på vent til 1957, hovedsakelig på grunn av andre verdenskrig. Det siste hallen er hvor de fleste løse gjenstandene er utstilt. Bortsett fra de tre vikingskipene er det også et fungerende verft hvor besøkende kan se rekonstruksjoner av forhistoriske båter som faktisk bygges i full skala. Verftet benytter også gamle byggeteknikker til å bygge nye båter. ----Formal English---- Viking Ship Museum Norway's Viking Ship Museum is located in Oslo. It's actually part of the larger Museum of Cultural History, which is located at University of Oslo. Inside the museum, visitors will find many different artifacts, including some important items from the Borre mound cemetery, Tune, and Oseberg. The Viking Ship Museum's main attractions include the three ships from Tune, Gokstad, and Oseberg. One of the reasons so many tourists decide to stop in at the Viking Ship Museum is because of the completely intact Viking ship located there. There is also quite a large exhibition of items from the Viking Age, including everything from sledges and horse carts to beds, carvings, and even buckets. A number of grave goods are also on display there. The museum dates back to 1913 when a professor from Sweden suggested that most of Norway's artifacts from the Viking Age be collected into one location. Two of the Viking ships had been stored previously at the University of Oslo in temporary shelters. The museum was constructed in sections, starting with the hall where the Oseberg ship is housed. That hall was finished 1926, aand the halls for two more ships were finished in 1932. The museum's last hall was put on hold until 1957, mostly because of World War II. That final hall is where most of the loose artifacts can be found. Aside from the three Viking ships, there is also a working boatyard where visitors can watch reconstructions of prehistoric boats actually being built in full scale. The yard also uses old building techniques to build new boats. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!

Don't forget to stop by NorwegianClass101.com for more great Norwegian Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Briksdalsbreen Briksdalsbreen er en arm av Jostedalsbreen, en isbre i Norge. Dette er en velkjent isbre som havnet i nyhetene på 90-tallet. I stedet for å trekke tilbake slik andre isbreer i verden gjorde, fortsatte Briksdalsbreen å vokse. Denne trenden har nå snudd og isbreen begynte å trekke tilbake igjen rundt 2000 og har fortsatt tilbaketrekkingen helt fram til nå. Briksdalsbreen ligger i Briksdalen, nord-vest i Sogn og Fjordane, i Stryn kommune. Som en del av Jostedalsbreen, er Briksdalen også en del av Jostedalsbreen Nasjonalpark. Den ligger 24 km sør for Olden by, ca. 500 km fra Oslo (en 8 timers tur) og ca. 450 km fra Trondheim (en 7 timers tur). Briksdalsbreen løper ut I Briksdalsbrevannet, som ble formet av isbreens tilbaketrekkelse mellom 1934 og 1951 da den trakk seg tilbake nesten 800 meter. Nydelige fosser faller ned i innsjøen og skaper et flott naturbilde. Innsjøen ligger ca. 350 meter over havet. Isbreen har trukket se tilbake siden den ble oppdaget, og størrelsen kommer veldig an på nedbør og temperatur. Ettersom isbreen fortsetter å trekke seg tilbake, spekuleres det i om den kommer til å kobles fullstendig fra hovedbreen, Jostedalsbreen. Guidede turer er tilgjengelig som gir muligheten til å utforske Briksdalsbreen nærmere, samt rideturer til breens base. Selvom det ikke nødvendigvis er merkbart, er isbreer i konstant bevegelse; du burde ikke ta turer uten erfarne turguider. ----Formal English---- The Birksdal Glacier An arm of Norway's Jostedalsbreen glacier, the Briksdalsbreen or Briksdal glacier is a well-known glacier that made the news in the 1990s. Instead of receding like other glaciers around the world, the Briksdalsbreen was growing. That trend has changed, as the glacier began to retreat again in 2000 and has continued that trend up until the present. Located in the northwestern county of Sogn og Fjordane in the municipality of Stryn, Briksdalsbreen lies in the Briksdalen (Briks Valley). As part of the Jostedalsbreen, it's also part of the Jostedalsbreen National Park. It is fifteen miles south of Olden village, 310 miles from Oslo (approximately an eight-hour trip), and 280 miles from Trondheim (approximately a seven-hour trip). Briksdalsbreen terminates in the lake Briksdalsbrevatnet, which was formed by the glacier's receding between 1934 and 1951, when it moved back by 2600 feet. Breathtaking waterfalls pour into the lake from over the edges of the glacier, creating a picturesque panorama. The lake is located 1135 feet above sea level. The glacier has receded over most of its recorded history, and its size is dependent on both precipitation and temperature. As the glacier continues its overall recession, some speculate that it will disconnect from its parent glacier, the Jostedalsbreen. Guided walks and ice climbs are available to explore Briksdalsbreen, along with horse rides to the glacier's foot. While this isn't necessarily discernible, glaciers are in constant motion; you should take a tour of one only with an experienced guide. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!

Festivalen i Middelalderparken har et publikum på over ti tusen mennesker og har raskt kommet til å bli en av Norges største festivaler. Fra 1999 til 2001 ble festivalen faktisk holdt på Kalvøya, en øy i indre Oslofjord. Den ble flyttet til fastlandet i Oslo i 2002 og varer i fire dager på sommeren med konserter på fire forskjellige scener (Sjøsiden, Enga, Vika og Odden). Festivalen tiltrekker seg over 80 band fra hele Norge og resten av verden. Øyafestivalen har etablert seg som en miljøbevisst festival med organisk mat, resirkulerte materiale, og gjenbruk av bannere osv. Organisatørene tar forhåndsregler for å beskytte Middelalderparken, som er et lokalhistorisk sted hvor festivalen holdes, gjennom hele festivalen. Festivalområdet ligger kun 10 minutter fra Oslo sentralstasjon som er en av de eldste delene av Oslo. Konsertene begynner midt på dagen og fortsetter til midnatt og etter festivalen er over må publikum forlate parken. Andre miljøvennlige tiltak inkluderer Øya-kortet som gir deg rabatter på offentlig transport mens du bor i Oslo; økologisk solkrem og bleieskift-tilgang. Alle aldre er velkomne, faktisk er det gratis inngang for alle under 12 år som kommer med en voksen. Som nevnt ovenfor er det mange forskjellige artister som spiller på Øyafestivalen. Tidligere artister inkluderer Asian Dub Foundation, The Hives, Röyksopp, Yoko Ono, Beck, Mogwai, Susanne Sundfør, Mew, Kanye West, og Håkan Hellström. ----Formal English---- The Oya Festival Taking place in the heart of Oslo, Norway, the Oya Festival (or Øyafestivalen in Norwegian) is a music festival that began in 1999. It draws tens of thousands to the Medieval Park (Middelaldparken) in Oslo and has rapidly become one of Norway's largest festivals. From 1999 to 2001 it was actually held in Kalvøya, an island in a bay of the inner Oslofjord. It moved to Oslo proper in 2002 and takes place over four days at four different stages (Sjøsiden, Enga, Vika, and Odden) in the summer. It draws over eighty bands from around Norway and the world. The Oya Festival has established itself as an environmentally committed festival, with organic food, recyclable materials, and yearly reuse of materials like banners. Its organizers take care to protect the Medieval Park, the local historic site that hosts it, throughout the festival. It is a mere ten-minute walk from the Oslo Central Station in the oldest part of Oslo. The concerts begin at midday and continue on until eleven P.M.., after which attendees have to vacate the park. Other green initiatives by the festival organizers include the Oya card, which offers you lower public transit fares during your stay in Oslo; eco-friendly sunblock; and diaper-change stands. All ages are welcome to attend; in fact, the entrance fee is waived for children under twelve who come with an adult. As mentioned earlier, a variety of artists perform at the Oya Festival. Past performers have included Asian Dub Foundation, The Hives, Röyksopp, Yoko Ono, Beck, Mogwai, Susanne Sundfør, Mew, Kanye West, and Håkan Hellström. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!
