This year’s keynote takes us to the farthest reach of the archaeological pro-cess: the point where finds and findings are presented in museum exhibi-tions. Søren Sindbæk presents a critical review of two major new exhibitions on the Viking Age which have recently opened at two of Scandinavia’s most prominent museums, the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm and the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. Both museums aim to at-tract increased tourist numbers, an appeal which Sindbaek suggests leads paradoxically to more culturally conservative and nationally focused ex-hibitions. Responses by Håkon Glørstad, Caroline Owman, Fredrik Svan-berg, Matthias Toplak, Chris Tuckley and Howard Williams explore con-straints and opportunities in displaying the Viking Age internationally.
