Vikings: Beyond The Legend

Royal Alberta Museum, Edmonton, AB - Apr 18 – Oct 20

by Robin Laurence

Viking culture, society and technology are on display in this internationally touring exhibition – and so is a 37-metre-long Viking warship. Reconstructed using 25% of the original planks, estimated to be 1,000 years old, the ship, together with models, sculptures, tools, jewellery, coins and interactive displays, will provide viewers with an expansive picture of Viking life, history, artisanship and infl uence. Vikings is on loan from the National Museum of Denmark.
