The Galloway Hoard, Treasures of the Viking Age, Australian National Maritime Museum until 11 October
Found on church land in Balmagie in south-west Scotland in 2014, the Hoard includes 5kg of silver, gold and other objects buried around AD 900 by Vikings.
I’m very excited to see these treasures, as they were discovered some 50-odd miles from where I grew up in Scotland.
Tickets: Adult $25/Family $69/Concession $20/Child $15 (4-15 yrs). There is a different price for See it All tickets which include vessels in the harbour.
