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.
