The Viking Exhibition
Feared in their day, and misunderstood by posterity, the Vikings are the stuff of legend. Discover intriguing tales of powerful women and men, of voyages to trade and pillage in foreign lands, and of life in the trading port of Birka. We have the world’s largest collection of Viking artifacts.
