This print transports us back to the 1980s, where a Viking scene is meticulously recreated at the renowned Jorvik Centre in York. On the 28th of June in 1987, visitors were treated to an immersive experience that brought history to life. The attention to detail is remarkable as mannequins donning authentic Viking costumes stand proudly amidst a carefully constructed set. The Jorvik Centre, known for its dedication to preserving and showcasing Viking heritage, spared no effort in recreating this scene. It serves as a testament to their commitment towards educating and entertaining visitors about this fascinating era. The mannequins exude strength and determination, reflecting the spirit of these ancient warriors who once roamed these lands.
