Making a Warrior

Many congratulations to our friends at the Museum of Danish America for a successful first month of Vikingmania! We were very happy to contribute survey data and videos to the exhibition. In Elk Horn, IA until April 2027, and on tour afterwards!

Today's vikingism: this 9m tall mural in Lindsborg, Kansas. Realised by Cal and Allena McNichols, it is one of several viking-themed murals in the town, whose nickname is 'Little Sweden' due to its Nordic heritage.

We appreciate the radical honesty in some of our Great Viking Survey answers:

GVS: 'Can you explain what you thought about your museum visit?'

Participants:

'To be honest, I have no idea if it was good information'

'it made me hate vikings more'

'I was there for the food which was great'

Thrilled to have made it out to sunny Cardiff for 'Viking and Wales: Past and Present' at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre. The exhibition, on until 17 May, incorporates some of the early UK results from our Great Viking Survey!
