In the exhibition, Hedeby is put on the regional map; the manufacture of everyday items or valuables crafted for export or for the local elite is illuminated; how the material accessories, symbols and tools of power relate to abstract ideas – such as social stratification, language, religious beliefs and death – becomes clearer; Viking interaction beyond the region is highlighted; and the final section of the exhibition illustrates the key role of Viking seamanship in their rise to prominence.
The serenity of the view out across the water through the exhibition hall’s great window is a far cry from the hustle and bustle that would have filled Hedeby’s quayside at the height of the trading season, but the view invites the visitor to go outdoors to see the site of the settlement itself.
