Alongside outstanding objects, the exhibition includes a ground-breaking Virtual Reality reconstruction of the army camp at Torksey, Lincs. This builds upon the research of Prof. Dawn Hadley, who will speak about her work at the site.
Following the tour there is the opportunity to attend Dr. Steve Ashby’s paper ‘Of Locks and Socks: aspects of everyday life in Viking towns’.
