Vikings!

Warriors, explorers, pirates and merchants – what do we really know about the people we call 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. You can find out more about the exhibition here.
