In the basement of a large bank, the Viking Museum (Vikingemuseet) consists of collections based upon the discoveries made by builders when excavating the bank's foundations in the 1960s.
The museum paints a fascinating picture of the Viking community that made Aarhus its home some thousand or more years ago.
Highlights include remains of the ramparts that once surrounded the settlement, a reconstruction of a typical house from the Viking period, and ancient tools.
