Learn all about the Vikings and the role of Science in Archaeology through these free videos created by the Education and Outreach Department at the National Museum of Ireland as part of Science Week 2021.

There are four videos in total. One video is about the Museum, archaeology and the use of science in archaeology, another is all about the Museum’s collection and the Vikings in Ireland, and a third is about the Vikings expansion and activity in the Midlands in Ireland. The fourth video is a word game, in which you must figure out the missing letters to each of the names of the replica Viking artefacts.

These videos feature and were created by Museum Educators from the Education and Outreach Department at the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology and were created in partnership with Midlands Science and the Heritage Offices at Laois, Westmeath, Longford and Offaly.
