A NEW exhibition in Museum nan Eilean, Benbecula, Hebridean Norsemen, explores the Norse period in the Outer Hebrides from the first arrival of the raiding Vikings to their settlement on the islands.
The exhibition charts changes in the daily life of the inhabitants of the islands, the importance of craft activities and the artistic and religious life of the immigrants.
Archaeological artefacts from a number of sites across the Outer Hebrides are exhibited, including finds from Cardiff University’s decade-long archaeological excavation at Bornish in South Uist.
