Vikings!
Recent archaeological discoveries have shed new light on the Viking Age, challenging commonly held conceptions of this key period in European history.
The traditional view of the Vikings – stereotypes of raiders wearing horned helmets – has been replaced by a more complete and up-to-date picture.
The National Museum of Scotland is the only UK venue for 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 show the Vikings in a new and intriguing light.
By bringing together these unique objects with new research and hands-on displays, the exhibition reveals who the Vikings really were, and creates a vivid picture of how they lived more than 1,000 years ago.
