VIKING
Temporary exhibition at the National Museum of Denmark.
22. June - 17. November 2013
The voyages of the Vikings created a cultural network that stretched from the North Atlantic to the Caspian Sea. The ship was a crucial factor, represented by Roskilde 6 – the heart of The National Museum’s 2013 Viking exhibition.
The life of the ship from newly built warship to wreck has inspired the four themes of the exhibition:
The Viking World, Raids & War, Power & Glory and Belief & Ritual.
In this way the exhibition sets focus on the Vikings’ society, religion, peaceful – and violent – expansions and international connections through both old and new archaeological finds.
