The hostage boat

New exhibition opens in 2025 at Holbæk Museum - Gislingebåden

For the winter holidays 2025, a whole new exhibition will open at Holbæk Museum, where the main attraction will be the original and almost 1000-year-old Gislinge boat. It will be a special sight that meets guestsno. Because even though the ship has been buried in sand and earth for almost a thousand years, it is incredibly well preserved and almost intact. Guests can get up close to the ship and see its beautiful details. You can clearly see how the ship is built according to the Nordic clink building technique, a craft method that is UNESCO's list of inalienable cultural heritage. Both light and sound help make the exhibition a sensual experience.

Stay tuned MVE's Facebook page, where we continuously tell the story behind and the process of getting the Gislingebåden into the museum.
