The popular public workshop 'Build a boat', gives creative children and adults the opportunity to test their boat building skills. The workshop is open every day from 1 May until 18 October
The 'Build a boat' workshop is located at the boatyard site, so you can be inspired by the real boat builders, while you design and build your own boat
There is also a water basin - a 'test tank' - so you can test your boat design and perhaps return to the construction process to refine the design. The workshop invites you to play and experiment at the same time as you learn about ship construction and boat building.
There is room for as many as 15 families in the workshop, where there are planing benches and enough tools for everyone.
The boats are built from wood scraps, cardboard paper, string, etc., and in the workshop there are tips, tricks, ideas and inspiration how to build a boat, so that everyone - from approx. 8 years and up - can easily get started designing and building a seaworthy vessel.
Where: The Viking Ship Museum's boatyard on the Museum Island
When: Every day from 1 May until 18 October
Building a boat is free of charge when a ticket for the Viking Ship Museum has been purchased.
