The Vikings are coming…

The Vikings are coming… British Museum launches The BP Exhibition Vikings: life and legend

6 March – 22 June 2014
Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery
Supported by BP

The first major exhibition on Vikings at the British Museum for over 30 years.
Features many new archaeological discoveries and objects never seen before in the UK alongside important Viking Age artefacts from the British Museum’s own collection and elsewhere in Britain and Ireland.
New interpretations place warfare and warrior identity at the centre of what it meant to be a Viking; cultural contact was often violent, and the transportation of looted goods and slaves reflects the role of Vikings as both raiders and traders.

Constructing Sustainable Visions for the Future

MANAGEMENT OF MUSEUMS during the financial crisis: sustainable solutions for the future of museums
October 4th and 5th 2013, National Museum, Ljubljana, Slovenia,
Slovene ICOM Council, National Museum, Kultur agenda and Institute for museums, cultural institutions and public.
At the deepening of financial crisis, the museums are increasingly threatened by continued reduction in public funding. We believe that museums need to learn and develop new ways of thinking, which will be crucial for their existence. Museums must adapt to new views and perspectives, rather than solely focusing on survival.

More than 100 museum directors (from America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania) participated in the working visit organized by the Portuguese EMEE team. This working visit was promoted during the International Conference of Maritime Museums held in Portugal (8-15 September).

Prof. Uwe Bruckner @ International Conference of Maritime Museums

Prof. Uwe Bruckner spoke in the International Conference of Maritime Museums in Cascais, Portugal with the support for the Portuguese Team of Eurovision.
