The Men from the North
Tomorrow, the British Museum opens its doors to reveal the strange, brutal, but also strikingly beautiful world of the Vikings. As a prelude to the exhibition, Michael Oliver goes ' a-Viking ' to 'the kingdom dependant upon Yorvik ' to discover at first hand something of thatculture,undisturbed for over 1,000 years, which is now being uncovered in the great Coppergate excavations in the centre of York.
