Last week, the Australian National Maritime Museum was invaded by Vikings!
The staff were happily enjoying the launch of their new exhibition Vikings – Beyond the Legend when a horde of real Norsemen arrived at the docks at Darling Harbour, Sydney.
They came in peace though. Only one Anglo-Saxon warrior died.
