2.2.2026 15:08:14 CET | AF Gruppen ASA | Press release
Statsbygg and AF Gruppen have entered into an agreement for the execution phase of the partial refurbishment of the old Viking Ship Museum at Bygdøy. The total contract value is estimated at NOK 123 million excluding VAT.
The project is part of the overall New Viking Age Museum development, and the old Viking Ship Museum will house key functions in the future museum complex, including the main entrance, museum shop, educational spaces, and offices. The project covers approximately 4,500 square metres of internal refurbishment.
The project will be carried out as a collaborative contract in close cooperation with Statsbygg. Phase 1 has been ongoing for about a year, and Phase 2 (execution) is scheduled to start in June 2026, with expected completion in the third quarter of 2027. If additional options are exercised, such as roof and protected façade refurbishment, the total contract value will increase.
“Statsbygg and AF Gruppen have worked together in excellent collaboration on the overall New Viking Age Museum project since spring 2021, and we are pleased to now enter into a contract for the fourth sub-project in the development of the new museum. This contract builds on our strong expertise in heritage conservation and restoration of listed buildings,” says Eirik Wraal, EVP for Building, Energy and Environment at AF Gruppen.
