Gamla Uppsala Museum stands beside the Royal Mounds, sixth-century burial mounds at one of Scandinavia's most important archaeological sites. The exhibition traces Old Uppsala from the Late Iron Age to the Middle Ages, and upstairs there are original finds and a room on runes.

In Freyr's Hall, kids try on Viking clothes and helmets, sit in the high seat and press hidden buttons that bring carved animals to life.
