The Oseberg longship, a significant Viking-era discovery, recently completed its move to a new, state-of-the-art museum facility. Discovered in 1903, the 1200-year-old ship, believed to belong to royalty, has undergone extensive preservation efforts. The original building's poor conditions led to deterioration, prompting the decade-long construction of a specialized facility. The ship's recent 300-foot relocation marked a milestone for archaeologists. The new museum, designed for centuries of preservation and public viewing, is slated to open in 2027.
