Vikings: Beyond the Legend is coming to Melbourne Museum. Largest collection of Viking artefacts to ever be displayed in Melbourne is opening on 23 March. Vikings have often been depicted in popular culture as a bunch of bearded, dirty, horn- helmeted barbarians. But recent archaeological discoveries have revealed a much more nuanced and refined people and culture. Viking tweezers, razors and combs have been uncovered by archaeologists, and much to our disbelief, there has been no evidence to suggest that their neatly brushed hair was ever covered by horned helmets. Combining the latest archaeological findings and more than 450 original artefacts from the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm, Vikings: Beyond the Legend removes the stereotypes and reveals Vikings and their rich, often-misunderstood culture in a fascinating, new light. Exploring six key themes, the exhibition provides insights into Viking people and their domestic life, religion, death rituals, craftsmanship, and raiding and trading culture. It more accurately portrays the Vikings as farmers, merchants, artisans, and explorers. Interactive displays, hands-on challenges, maps, images and filmic elements will be displayed alongside more than 450 Viking objects, including weapons, jewellery, clothing, household tools, ceramics, game pieces, bones, musical instruments, and rune stones. Among the rare treasures, some of which have never left Scandinavia, will be one of the finest Thor hammer pendants ever found, rune stones used to mark death and important events, a 1000-year-old piece of bread, swords dating from 700-1100 AD and even coprolites (fossilised poo!) that have been used to determine ancient Viking diets. Ships were an important part of Norse mythology and vital to Viking expansion, travel and trade. On display will be the Krampmacken, a replica of a nine-meter Viking merchant boat found in Gotland Island in Sweden in the 1920’s along with the powerful skeletal remains of a Viking ship –
