Make the journey back through time. In the year 2000, the Newfoundland Museum commemorates the extraordinary events that surround the Viking landfall in L’Anse aux Meadows at the turn of the last millennium.

The exhibit will profile L’Anse aux Meadows as the only authenticated Viking settlement in the New World, one which is recognized as both a Canadian National Historic Site and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stunning Viking artifacts made of gold, iron, ivory and wood from Nordic museums will be exhibited alongside intricately made Aboriginal artifacts made of bone, stone, ivory and wood from the Newfoundland Museum and other Canadian museums. Viking Sagas and Aboriginal oral history combine to tell the story of humanity.
