It demonstrates how the Vikings first travelled from Scandinavia using longships. It explores the initial arrival of the Vikings and the raids that occurred at monastic sites and their subsequent settlement in Ireland, particularly around the coast. This is presented through the artefacts that are on display at the Museum and on known archaeological excavations and sites.
