Pocket Museum: Vikings

This book is an informative introduction for newcomers and a valuable resource for those familiar with Viking history.

The Viking world’s culture embodies both violence and beauty. This extensively illustrated volume brings together nearly 200 carefully chosen artifacts, reflecting the art and daily life of Viking-Age Europe and the North Atlantic. It includes iconic items like Norway’s famous ship burials and the only complete Viking helmet, as well as treasures from British, Irish, and continental monasteries. Less familiar everyday items like a brooch, woolen sock, and bread also highlight the volume’s unique juxtaposition of outstanding and everyday artifacts. Sumptuous close-up photographs showcase the exquisite collection.
