Treasure Trove.

The Vik­ing ship museum at Roskilde is fas­cin­at­ing, as are the rep­licas that sail on the fjord outside,

but the real Vik­ing age exper­i­ence was at the National Museum in Copen­ha­gen.  In Den­mark the Iron Age goes up to 1050AD or so, which includes the entire Vik­ing period.  You have never seen such a cor­nu­copia of objects.  Makes you won­der how care­less all those ancient Danes were, los­ing so much stuff, or how rich they were, to be able to afford to bury such costly objects with their dead.  Or to acquire such won­der­ful for­eign good­ies from the Medi­ter­ranean world.  And it’s all so bril­liantly dis­played and lit.  All the text is in Dan­ish and Eng­lish, in equal size type.  Aston­ish­ing volume of finds.
