The Viking past of the archipelago comes to life in the Rosala Viking
Centre
in a museum that among other things presents archeological findings from
the former Örsund (Kyrksundet, the sound between Hitis and Rosala). The Viking clothes, weapons and battle garments are also illustrated. Weapons included swards, small daggers, spears, axes, bows and arrows. Viking arrows have specially designed flights for every task from killing men to catching fish. A miniature model follows the life of a Viking and presents his relationship to his gods. In the auditorium there are illustrations and presentations about the Nordic mythology of the Viking age. See 360ş virtual picture of the exhibition hall here.
