Icelandic academic visiting Island museums
How Vikings are portrayed at the Manx Museum and the House of Manannan will form part of a new research project by a visiting Icelandic academic.
Dr Gudrun Whitehead is carrying out a comparative study of exhibitions in Norway, Iceland and Britain.
The Assistant Professor at the University of Iceland is visiting both Manx facilities this week.
Dr Whitehead says many museums are trying to expand on the stereotypical perception of Viking warriors:
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Expanded eligibility and increased funding for support schemes
Police appeal after two motorcycles involved in collision
Incident saw Tholt-Y-Will backroad closed for several hours
Childcare Credit payments to increase
Bid to support families with childcare costs
Manx Care advice to those on Depo-Provera injection
It follows news in the UK this week relating to a study published in 2024
