Viking Era Collections at Museums Victoria

Museums Victoria holds a small but significant number of items relating to the Viking era in the region now known as the United Kingdom, broadly from the 8th to the 11th century. Most of the items are numismatics - coins minted during this era. Many were transferred to the Museum from the National Gallery of Victoria in the 1970s, of which some were previously acquired from sellers in the United Kingdom.

The Museums Victoria collection also includes a small number of items which reflect contemporary responses to Viking history and culture.
