From the fury of the Northmen,

where; their colorful woolen sails flashed off Spain in the

Mediterranean and their long, graceful hulls ruled the cold black

waters of the North Atlantic. Soon these intrepid seafarers would sail

from bases in Greenland to explore and briefly settle in North America.

Welcome to

In this exhibit you will see that the Norse were not only warriors and sailors, but

poets and parents, farmers, shipbuilders, and weavers, sons and daughters. The activ-

ities and questions in this family guide will help you understand the Vikings and the

people they met in their travels. This guide will also give you an idea of how we

learn about the past. In some cases, the answers to the questions are found in the

exhibit, in others the questions are starting points for discussion. You can do some

of the Viking-related activities in the exhibit, others at home.

Have fun!

Introduction

A s you enter the exhibit, look

? What tools were used to write on this stone?

l

? What are some of the symbols used on this stone, and

why do you think they were important to King Harald

Bluetooth ?

l

? If you could create your own runestone, what would

it look like?

On the “stone” provided at right, why not give it a try!!

A Journey of Discovery

T he legends of quick raids from stealthy longships

Violent Deeds, Vast Achievements

are just a small part of the Viking story.

l

Look at the time line and map of Viking expansion.

Trace the route Norse sailors took to North America

from their homelands in Scandinavia and think about

why they traveled this way.

l

? How do you think we discovered what the Vikings

were really like?

Historians and archeologists, like detectives, look for

clues. As in all good detective stories, clues show up

in unlikely places. In your journey through this

exhibit, you will discovery many clues about the

Vikings.

l

? What did the “warrior” Vikings establish in Iceland

in 930?

Around the year 1000 Leif Eriksson sailed from

Greenland and discovered three important places.

l

? What form do you think these clues will take?

l

? What were they?

? What countries would you visit to look for clues about

the Vikings?

Recapturing the Past

became very interested in the Vikings. They imitated

Viking poetry, music, and clothing. They even wrote

plays, operas and books, idealizing Viking deeds.

The Way They Weren’t

Find a picture of a Viking horned-helmet.

l

? F rom your re s e a rch, did Vikings wear horn e d - h e l m e t s ?

? What ideas do you have about the Vikings?

an accurate Viking helmet on the man below.

Unearthing Evidence

Vikings in North America

Scandinavians that moved to the United States bro u g h t

their ideas about Vikings–both right and wrong–with

them.

l

Archeologists and other scientists often study bones to

learn about the past. This mass burial of 13 people was

found in Greenland and provides an important clue

about the Vikings.

l

? What did these immigrants do to show their pride in

the Vikings?

l

? Why were they buried together?

l

? How do you show pride in your school or team?

? Do scientists know all the answers?

Going Viking

The Gokstad Ship, Scale Model

Let’s take a look at this graceful Viking longship and

imagine what sailing her on the open sea was like .

l

Armed for Action

H e re we find Viking weapons. But before you look fur-

t h e r, why not put yourself in command of a raiding part y

t h a t ’s going “a-viking” (or raiding) on the Gokstad ship.

l

? Where would

you sleep at night?

l

In the blanks below, make a list of the most important

things you would want on your voyage. Then compare your

list with artifacts archeologists have found on Viking sites!

? Take a very close

look at the bottom.

See how flat it is?

A flat bottomed

ship like this one,

fully loaded, can

sail in only thre e

feet of water.

? If you were part of the crew on a voyage and the wind

died, what would you do to keep moving?

l

? What would you take along in your sea chest and why?
