Vikings hit back
Jan Bruun Jensen, expert of the National Museum of Denmark, builds a structure for the wreckage of the Roskilde 6 vessel from the Viking Age at the atrium of the Martin Gropius Bau museum in Berlin, where preparations are under way for the exhibition “The Vikings”. The ship, measuring 37 m in length, is the longest warship from this epoch ever to be found. The exhibition from September 10, 2014 to January 4, 2015 will feature warrior graves and weapons finds, grave goods for affluent women, archaeologically important settlement finds, as well as evidence of cultic and religious practices of historical value.
