Visitors to the Museum of the Viking Age will experience the world’s best-preserved Viking ships and more than 5,500 other objects from the Viking Era after the opening in 2027.

As a Lead Media Designer, my task in this project was to translate scientific findings into experiences that are both tangible and understandable. Together with the museum's curatorial team and my team at TMS, I developed concepts and designs for 26 different audiovisual media experiences across a permanent exhibition space of 5,000 m² including hands-on interactives, interactive and immersive  projections, interactive tables and audio features with interviews from researchers. The goal was to turn visitors into active participants – curious, reflective, and emotionally involved as they immerse themselves in the history of the Viking Age.

At the heart of the exhibition, however, are the original artefacts: the ships and objects are the true protagonists. The media interventions do not compete with them, but instead support and frame them, helping the stories of this past culture come alive.

Inspired by point cloud images from archaeological scans, the visual language strikes a balance between precision and abstraction, reflecting both what we know and what remains open to interpretation.
