Very nice find Elling! Now if only I read more then just English and some Spanish. :confused: Oh well, at least pictures are a universal language we can all understand.

Thanks for posting this!

Amazing link! Great to see photos of the pieces that are not normally published. Thank you for posting.

Wonderful stuff, Elling. Many thanks,

Excellent link! Great stuff there! Thanks very much Elling.

Is this sword bent, as it seems to be, or is there any chance the blade actually has a slight downward curve?

Does anyone else see what I see.....another viking type XII (like the one from Bern in SAC) ?

I like this site, hopefully they'll be getting more pictures up, as well as more accurate dating assigned to pictures. Including excerpts from conservation reports like they do at Historiska Museet in Stockholm would be nice to. Still, good site, especially considering the usual efficiency and userfriendliness of the Norwegian museums...

The only real qualm I have are some of the object definitions assigned to the pictures, such as "Possibly a key?" posted beside a bronze strap divider.... :p

The university museum picture database has been updated, with a new site, interface and more pictures...
Unfortunately, they are still lacking a "search by period" feature...
