In this exhibition, you can experience all the areas of the Sigyn: visit the living quarters of the captain and the ship\u2019s officers, see the deckhouse where the crew lived, peek into the kitchen (or galley), descend into the hold and climb up to the mast! You can also admire the ship by touring the floating dock Loke.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can choose from two fun tours suited for both kids and grown-ups!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the Crew Tour, you will get to know the ship and the exciting duties of the sailors in both stormy and calm weather with the help of video clips. Featuring Tom, the ship\u2019s cat! On the Bug Tour, you\u2019ll go on an expedition in the world of sailing bugs! Roam around the Sigyn and the floating dock Loke, and catch the eight animals lurking about! Is the shipworm really a worm at all, and what the heck is a wharf borer? And what about fleas, lice, mealworms, leeches, barnacles and butterflies \u2013 how are they connected to the Sigyn?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The virtual tour of the Sigyn can be used by teachers for independent learning among school classes. The content is designed specifically for primary school level learning. You can find ready-made learning materials here<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
