The Viking department is amazing. I am a fanatic (historical reenactor) about Viking history and I loved this exhibit.

Surprised at North and South American Natives' textiles and clothing, but all first class. Small African artifacts collection. Odd and funny 20th century additions to 1,000 yr old artifacts, but clever. Really time well-spent learning. Nice neighborhood to walk around in.
