VIKING objects from the Yorkshire Museum will cross the North Sea to star in an exhibition.
The new Moesgaard Museum in Denmark opens on Saturday, featuring the 25 pieces as part of a Seven Vikings display, telling the tales and travelogues of Vikings from Aros in Denmark.
Natalie McCaul, curator of archaeology, said: “York’s Viking heritage is of global importance. We are very excited to see the Yorkshire Museums’ collections being displayed on an international levelIt is always interesting to meet, talk with and learn from international colleagues with similar collections about how they interpret their objects and tell stories for visitors too.”
The objects include a hogback grave slab, antler combs, amber roughouts and jewellery, iron axeheads, bone ice skates, a pewter brooch and a selection of coins minted in York.
