This is a smaller verison of our Vikings exhibitions, enabling museums with limited space revealing alternative, surprising stories of the Norsemen´s culture to its visitors.
Bringing a modern representation of the Viking Age to the 21st century
Not all Viking ships were built for warfare. Undoubtedly most of Viking shipping took the form of cargo-boats for trade, colonization and deep-sea exploration. These ships bear witness to another side of the Viking efforts, being busy traders, productive craftsmen, daring colonists and settlers.
Between c. 750 and 1100 AD Scandinavians erupted on to the European stage and even beyond in a tormenting flood of energy. This period is now widely known as The Viking Age and in the course of these three centuries Vikings overran and occupied large areas of France, England, Ireland and Scotland. With their superior skills in ship building and sailing they navigated their beautiful Viking ships – the dragons of the North – further on, founding new settlements in the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland.
