History of the Gjermundbu Helmet
The Gjermundbu helmet was first found by accident on March 30, 1943. As mentioned, it was discovered at the huge Gjermundbu farm, located near Haugsbygd in Ringerike, a municipality in Buskerud, Norway.
Later, the officials at the University of Oslo were notified.
This discovery was followed by an investigation led by Conservator Sverre Marstrander and museum assistant Charlotte Blindheim. Eventually, they confirmed that a historical burial chamber dating from the Viking era existed there.
This headgear, which was eventually referred to as the Gjermundbu helmet, was found in nine fragments and reconstructed later. The helmet had the shape of a peaked cap formed by four plates, and it was made of iron.
Today, the Gjermundbu helmet is exhibited at the University of Oslos Museum of Cultural History in Norway.
