Meet the Vikings
Designer Jim Lyngvild and experts from the National Museum of Denmark have made a new exhibition on the Vikings. The exhibition opens on November 26th and visitors will be able to put a face to Denmark’s rough and ready ancestors. Several pieces of the museum’s iconic Viking jewellery are worn by lifelike Vikings that put a face to the housewife, warrior, berserker, völva and peasant as they probably looked when alive, complete with tattoos and the traces of too much sun, sea water and heavy food.
