Bringing history to life

The VIKINGS exhibition traces 300 years of extraordinary human history.
The mighty kings of the seas connected cultures from North America to Rome.
This epic story unfolds through the eyes of Aslaug – descendant of the gods, warrior queen, and mother of kings.
 
Born in secret and hidden among farmers under the name Kraka, she marries the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok and bears him four sons before revealing her true divine ancestry.
 

As the last descendant of the Volsung bloodline, Aslaug's story connects the mythical past of dragons and Valkyries with the living world of ships, swords, and sagas.
 

Her spirit lives on—its echo can still be heard in the heartbeat of history.
