PVR LIVE brings back the aura of legends with ‘VIKINGS FROM THE BRITISH MUSEUM’ at your nearest PVR Cinema

PVR LIVE through its second season of bringing world-class global content gives audiences an opportunity of a lifetime to witness an exclusive private view of the BP exhibition Vikings: life and legend– British Museum’s first major exhibition on the Vikings in over 30 years. The exhibition focuses on the core period of the Viking Age from the late 8th century to the early 11th century.

Director Neil MacGregor and presented by the celebrated broadcasting historians Michael Wood and Bettany Hughes, the exhibition is brought to life by curator Gareth Williams, alongside experts on Viking ships and swords, burial and beliefs, language and legacy. With demonstrations, stunning close-up photography of the Viking objects in the exhibition and a torch-lit burial staged in the grounds of the museum, Vikings from the British Museum is a reminder of how the Vikings have shaped modern lives across four continents including North America.

About the exhibition -
The exhibition and cinema event focus on the core period of the Viking Age – the late 8th to the early 11th century AD. The extraordinary Viking expansion from the Scandinavian homelands during this era created a cultural network from the Caspian Sea to the North Atlantic, and from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean. Warfare and warrior identity are at the centre of what it meant to be a Viking and contact with other lands was often violent. Objects include recently excavated skeletons from a mass grave of executed Vikings, armour and weapons. But there is also fine jewellery, sculpture and metalwork which was traded as well as raided across the globe.
