VIKINGS have invaded Barnsley for a new exhibition at the town hall’s museum.
It is the first time Experience Barnsley has hosted a Vikings exhibition, which has come from the renowned Jorvik Viking Centre in York.
The museum’s exhibitions officer Sarah Briggs said it has been a joy to put together ‘Heroes: Viking kings, conquerors and explorers’, and Jorvik has customised displays just for the museum.
Skeletons, replica helmets and crowns, jewellery and clothing, weapons and maps will all be on show until August 14.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
