What Happened to the Vikings: Viking burial mound Part 1 Project 2025 Jakub Miśniakiewicz Cracow University of Technology | Poland The main idea behind the Nordic Museum project was to create a space that would allow residents and tourists to interact with the art and cultural heritage of the region.The building's location near the ferry station makes it a symbolic gateway to the city, and the building itself is located near a historic Viking barrow - a tomb where more boat remains were discovered in 2023. The size of the boat burial indicates that one of the nation's rulers was buried there. The above-ground part of the building was constructed entirely in timber construction, using CLT technology. The form of the building harmonizes with its surroundings through the use of a horizontal mass, divided into two distinct elements. The hipped roof is designed to blend in with the mountain landscape, and the timber shingle covering is a reference to traditional architecture.The building is divided into four zones: a public area, an exhibition area, a technical and storage area and an administrative area.The Nordic Museum project is an example of sustainable architecture, combining modern solutions with local cultural heritage to create a space conducive to education and recreation.
