Immersive 'Vikings' Exhibition Opens in Hamburg on Nov. 5

The show blends myth with scholarship to recenter women in Viking storytelling.

Overview

  • The Germany premiere launches Nov. 5 at Halle 7 in Hamburg-Altona, with visiting hours daily from 10:00 to 21:00.
  • Spanning about 2,500 square meters, the roughly 90-minute experience moves from a Forest of Time walk through a fog chamber into a longship-centered projection theater.
  • A VR installation beneath a Yggdrasil structure presents a 360° film on Queen Aslaug’s saga, accommodating up to 40 users at once.
  • Visitors can converse with an AI-generated projection of Kraka/Aslaug that replies with varying poetic reflections on Viking life.
  • Curated by Mitch Sebastian after about a year of development, the production interweaves legend and documented history, including Ragnar Lodbrok and the 793 Lindisfarne raid.
