Stadsmuseum Doetinchem

Het Vikingzwaard, een reliek uit de Oude IJssel

Until 25 October

Exhibition

Eeuwenlang lag in de Oude IJssel bij Doetinchem een Vikingzwaard. Tijdens een omlegging van de rivier in de jaren '50 kwam het door veel geluk onder de aandacht van een baggeraar die het in bewaring gaf bij het Stadsmuseum. Na een grondige behandeling is het terug en indrukwekkender dan ooit.

Totaalbeleving

Het zwaard is te zien in de tentoonstelling Het Vikingzwaard, een reliek uit de Oude IJssel in Stadsmuseum Doetinchem. De tentoonstelling combineert het historische object met levensgrote sculpturen van Simone Albers, originele striptekeningen van Eric de Noorman door Hans Kresse (1921–1992), een soundscape van Nick Smeenk en 3D-animaties van Lars van Steeg. Alle zintuigen worden aangesproken om de Vikingcultuur te beleven.

Vikingen in de Achterhoek

Het Vikingzwaard van Doetinchem bewijst dat er in de Achterhoek ooit Vikingen zijn geweest. Eén Vikingaanvoerder in het bijzonder heeft hier tussen 801 en 805 huisgehouden. In de tentoonstelling leer je meer over hem: Godfried de Noorman.

Amulet maken

In het museumatelier kun je zelf een amulet maken, net als de Vikingen bij zich droegen. Deze opdracht is ontwikkeld door kunstenaar Simone Albers. Bekijk ook de andere activiteiten rondom het thema Vikingen.
