Some of the world’s most important artefacts charting the history of the Vikings and their presence in Britain are on display in a new Nottingham exhibition.
Viking: Rediscover the Legend has transformed the Djanogly Gallery at Lakeside Arts into a collection of ancient treasure, weaponry and intricate everyday items from across Britain.
The Anglo-Saxon and Viking artefacts from the British Museum and Yorkshire Museum Trust provide a fresh perspective on how their influence transformed and shaped our culture.
Among the collection is the York Helmet, a perfectly preserved piece of Anglo Saxon armour discovered in York in 1982. Dating back to around 750-775AD, it is considered the most outstanding object of the period ever discovered.
