The national museum in my country has begun to upload pictures of their collection to a website, and I thought maybe some people were as ridiculous as me and found it interesting to look at. The national museum in Denmark has a big collection of Norse stuff, of course and some other things too. Here's the website if you want to have a look:

http://samlinger.natmus.dk/AS

Oh and uh, the category menu are those three lines beside the search bar, and I guess I should translate it for you:

- All collections
- Antiquity collection (This is usually foreign stuff like Greek artefacts)
- Conservation Department
- Denmark's Middle Age & Renaissance (Post-Viking Age until 1700CE)
- Denmark's Recent Times (1700CE+)
- Pre-Historic Denmark (Everything up until after the Viking Age, aka until the Middle Ages)
- The Royal Coin & Medal collection
- Ethnographic collection
- The Freedom Museum (WW2 things)
- Frilands Museum (Mostly empty, I can't remember what it is about)
- Music Museum
- About the national museum online

I can translate subcategories as well if you want, but otherwise you can just experiment. As a general thing:

Emner = Subjects
Temaer = Themes
Tid = Time

The website is not all done, I just thought it might be a fun thing to share with you folks. :p

That one is pretty cool. :D Actually there's loads of awesome drinking horns in there. Think I saw one made of silver from the 19th Century and a couple made of glass.
