Viking relics from the Isle of Man are to go in display at a Cornish museum, in a major new exhibition.
Items including bronze pins, iron nails from a Viking ship, glass beads and a Viking sword, have been requested on loan by the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth.
Its two year exhibition Viking Voyagers opens in March and will portray the Scandinavian marauders as a maritime culture, whose mastery of sea-faring technology was the secret of their success.
Alison Fox is Curator of Archaeology at the Manx Museum.
She says the loan will serve as a valuable shop window for the Island's rich Viking history:
