VISITORS to a York museum can experience life as a Viking with special activities, from shield making to coin striking.
There will be a number of activities until September 3 as part of the Yorkshire Museum’s new exhibition, ‘Viking: Rediscover the Legend.’
The museum is inviting people to learn the trades and skills of the Norsemen who ruled more than a thousand years ago.
Visitors can try their hand at making a miniature longboat, a Viking drum or their own ‘silver’ brooch and, each Thursday, join a special activity inspired by Thor, the Viking God of Thunder.
All activities are free.
Under 17s go free with a paying adult.
