British Museum: Vikings

Billed as an "an exclusive private tour" of the British Museum's Vikings: Life and Legend exhibition. Presented by Museum Director Neil MacGregor, historian Michael Wood, exhibition curator Gareth Williams and other experts.

"Offers an extraordinary insight into how these great warriors shaped our modern lives. There are plenty of surprises in store as we learn how they created a complex international trading network covering four continents. We also discover our direct connections to the Vikings through language, poetry, names, place names and even our DNA... The broadcast includes stunning close-up photography of exhibits and the construction of the prow of a giant Viking ship. As night falls, there will also be a live, torch-lit burial ceremony in the Museum's grounds." (British Museum)
