This exhibition explores the Viking Age in Ireland through surviving objects – including objects from Viking graves of the 9th and 10th centuries and from settlement sites of the 10th to 12th centuries.

At the centre of the exhibition is a display of finds from the Museum’s excavations in Dublin, the most important Viking site in Ireland. This is one of the finest collections of excavated finds from an early medieval site anywhere in Europe. 

A final section displays church metalwork and other ecclesiastical material of the 11^th and 12^th centuries, which shows how Scandinavian features were absorbed into Irish culture, including art styles, in the later Viking Age.
