For three hundred years
Vikings, spread out from their Scandinavian homelands, sweeping the
world from Baghdad to North America. Their name remains legend for terrifying
raids on teh coasts of Britain, Ireland and Europe in the 8th to 11th
Centuries.
Ferocious and fearless,
they valued glory and valour above all things. They were skilled boatbuilders,
expert navigators, and superb horsemen. Wherever they went they made
a mark never to be forgotten.
Beyond their conquests,
we now know they created trade routes, founded empires, produced items
of exquisite design and made surprising contributions to our world.
The Australian National
Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour presents treasures of the Viking
World, artefacts and replicas sourced from the great Scandinavian and
British collections, for an exhibition that digs beneath the legend
and myth to reveal the story of these great navigators, explorers, warriors,
traders and artists.
