Vikings - Life and Legend at the British Museum - 2.20pm Entry - March - June 2014
The British Museum
KIDS UNDER 16 YEARS GO FREE!!
Step back in time and discover an ancient Viking land in The British Museum s first major exhibition in 30 years. Enter a world of warriors, seafarers and conquerors to discover the many fascinating aspects of a history that is both strangely alien yet remarkably familiar.
Vikings: The Life and Legend at the British Museum will present personal objects, including jewellery, amulets and religious images, which help to reveal more about how the Vikings saw themselves and their world. Exquisite objects, including the magnificent Vale of York Hoard, demonstrate the global reach of the Viking network of trade, plunder and power.
At the heart of the exhibition will be the surviving timbers of a fascinating 37-metre-long warship. Found in 1997, and dating to around 1025, it is the longest Viking ship ever discovered. Many other new discoveries, including part of a mass grave of Viking warriors, will be on display showing how our understanding of the Vikings is still being changed by new excavations and recent research.
Don t miss out on your chance to take an extraordinary journey back in time to see Vikings: The Life and Legend at the British Museum.
Supported by BP.
Organised with the National Museum of Denmark and the Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte Staatliche Museen zu Berlin
Entry time: 2.20pm only
