"The National Museum of Denmark is a fantastic old building, a former palace, where visitors can see Viking treasures such as the Tissø ring as well as Viksø helmets (pictured), preserved bodies found in bogs and exhibitions that invite you into new interpretations of history – I always leave with a lust for gold! A recent exhibition included a multimedia presentation that took visitors on a Viking raid"
