(5) Statens Historiska Museum, Stockholm Sweden, Online Photo Database
Contains thousands of photos of Scandinavian artifacts, with quite a lot
being from the Viking Age.

Once you get to the SHM website, you will be looking at a page in Swedish.
The tool you need is the "sakord" or Search drop-down, and below I provide a
list of what the stuff on the list is, roughly. If you need help deciphering
any of the Swedish, you can get good translation at Skoldatanätet Lexin, a
Swedish-to-English/English-to-Swedish online dictionary, which is located
at:
