Explore the time of the Vikings and their impact on Ireland through a selection of objects which give us a glimpse into how the Vikings and Irish people dressed. Discover more about their beliefs, how they lived and what influences the Vikings have left behind today, both here and in the wider world.
The Viking loan box contains a treasure trove of replica items for children to investigate and examine up close in the classroom. The class will have the opportunity to handle replica Viking jewellery, coinage, amulets, combs and puzzle over how to fasten an Irish penannular brooch.
