Vikings!

The National Museum of Scotland was the only UK venue to show this outstanding exhibition of more than 500 objects from the world-renowned collections of the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm. Rarely seen outside Scandinavia, these artefacts showed the Vikings in a new and intriguing light.
