>Yes, Vikings will invade Stargate this summer. The Smithsonian Institute,
>in
>conjunction with the Nordic Council and Volvo, has put together an exhibit
>called "Vikings:the North Atlantic Saga" which will arrive in Ansteorra on
>July 14 at the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences. The exhibit has been
>assembled from museums all over the world and features many of the items we
>all have seen in the books all of the "vikings" use for reference. Now we
>get the chance to see those things close up and for real.
>
>The exhibit will be at the museum from July 14 through October 14. If you
>are the least bit interested in the Viking Age and the westward expansion
>of
>the Norse to Iceland, Greenland and Vinland, this is a must see.
>
>The Ansteorran Longship Company has been asked by the museum to put our
>longboat, Skelmir, on display in the lobby for the entire run of the
>exhibit. They have also asked our members to be at the museum every weekend
>to discuss life in the Viking Age with museum visitors. We will be there!
>
>If you live in an area with a Scandinavian club, check with them about bus
>tours to the museum. Almost every Norse, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and
>Finnish club in the state are planning to take several bus loads of people
>to view the exhibit.
>
>Check the web site of the museum for more information. They are at
>www.hmns.org
>
>There is a book about the exhibit available from most booksellers (cheaper
>online) or at the museum bookstore.
>
>If I can be of assistance, please feel free to contact me.
>
>May you have calm seas before you and a fair wind at your back.
