Vikings! Exhibit Photographs on Flickr

Vikings! Exhibit on Flickr Web Page
I was fortunate enough to be able to travel twice to Gatineau, Quebec to see the traveling exhibition, Vikings! which took place at the Canadian Museum of History.

These pictures were taken at the  'Vikings' exhibit held at the museum from 3Dec2015 to 17Apr2016.

This was the largest exhibition of Viking Age items to travel to Canada, and probably worldwide, that I have heard of.
