Today's vikingism: this 9m tall mural in Lindsborg, Kansas. Realised by Cal and Allena McNichols, it is one of several viking-themed murals in the town, whose nickname is 'Little Sweden' due to its Nordic heritage.
We appreciate the radical honesty in some of our Great Viking Survey answers:
GVS: 'Can you explain what you thought about your museum visit?'
Participants:
'To be honest, I have no idea if it was good information'
'it made me hate vikings more'
'I was there for the food which was great'
Could Gibb's rendering even just have been based on the original find drawing, rather than the object itself?
