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.
Dr Whitehead says many museums are trying to expand on the stereotypical perception of Viking warriors:
Rider taken to Noble's Hospital after Senior TT red flag
Competitor 'conscious and talking' after incident at 11th Milestone
TT campers in 'high spirits' despite rain affecting race week
'Costa del Ballaugh' one week, mud the next
Red flag stops Senior TT race
Race halted during second lap
Further delay to TT schedule due to 'non-racing operational matter'
Clerk of the Course confirms change to proceedings
Crash which closed the Mountain Road ahead of racing 'not too serious'
Police give update after incident at Brandywell delays TT schedule
