Dear Rosemary,
My list would include:
Viking ships, Oslo
Historical Museum, Oslo - there is a good selection of religious material
there.
Gol stave church in the Norwegian folk museum (it is not one of the most
interesting stave churches, but is easy to get to and fairly typical)
The best stave churches are Urnes and Borgund which are both up in Sogn
and Fjordane. You'd need to hire a car - but the scenery is breathtaking, and
the churches unique.
In Bergen, the Bryggen area has a wonderful museum relating to the
Hanseatic traders. Very close to Bergen there is also the Fantoft stave
church, which has recently been reconstructed, having been destroyed in an
arson attack about 20 years ago.
If you have time, Trondheim Cathedral is really a must see (but not at
the expense of the stave churches!).
Have a wonderful time!
All best wishes,
Katrina Attwood

May I crave the indulgence of any experts on
Scandinavia (Meg)?
We are planning a holiday in Norway and have
got as far as thinking that we will fly in and out of Oslo, doing a round
trip to Bergen (perhaps coming back by train). I know that there are
medieval wooden (?stave) churches that one should see, to say nothing of the
Oslo Viking museum but really have little idea of where else one should
go. Are there any must sees for medievalists?
Many thanks indeed,
Rosemary
