Vikings before vikings - read aloud
The exhibition Vikings before vikings is temporary. Therefore we offer a shorter summary of it.
The beginning of the Viking Age is usually dated to the year 793 when Norwegian Vikings looted the Lindisfarne monastery in England, but findings from ship burials from Salme on the island Saaremaa in Estonia show that Vikings from what is today Sweden made armed expeditions to the Baltics already before the end of the 8th century.
In this exhibition you can see a grave, weapons and games from the findings on Salme.
