Lecture: Bundled-up in blue
Marianne Guckelsberger og Marled Mader
Marianne Guckelsberger and Marled Mader give a lecture on their project based on the exhibition Bundled-up in Blue, The Re-investigation of a Viking Age Grave on Tuesday November 21 at 12 noon.
The exhibition is based on new research on the bones and grave goods found in this settlement-era grave, discovered in 1938 in East-Iceland. The research can provide answers on the age of the woman in the grave and where she came from, together with indications of how she looked and dressed. The textile fragments preserved in the grave inspired Guckelsberger and Mader to make a hypothetical reconstruction of the woman’s dress, based on information from the research at the National Museum and on their own investigations.
