Join us on Saturday for the official launch of Viking Voices: Orkney from the Iron Age to the Late Norse.

This exhibition explores Orkney history in a way you've never seen before.

Created for the people of Orkney, this exhibition has been made possible by a donation from an Orcadian who wanted to tell the Viking story for all to enjoy.

We want you to enjoy new interpretations, revisit important artefacts and experience Orkney Museum like never before.

There are Q&A sessions on Launch day at 11am and 2pm, exploring the new exhibit and you'll have the chance to ask our curators, and Ragna!, any questions you might have!

We are looking forward to opening our doors and sharing with you.

The amazing Ragna is ready to meet the world later this week!

Curious about Viking life? Ask Ragna!

Ragna is the first of her kind - the first UK museum to use AI to bring this kind of history to life.

She’ll answer your questions in an immersive and interactive way.

Orkney Museum opens it's doors to reveal her this weekend. What will you ask her first?

Making slow and steady progress with the shoes. It's lovely to sit around the kitchen table and chat and work.
