Might Vesterhem in Decorah, Iowa--a Norweigen museum be
interested. Or the Swedish-American Museum on Clark St.
in Chicago have an idea?
> In autumn 2000, the American Museum of Natural History in New York built a
> model of a Viking ship as centerpiece to the National Museum's exhibition,
> "Vikings: The North Atlantic Saga."  This state-of-the-art vessel is about
> 37' long and 12' wide (roughly 2/3 actual size), and it is strikingly
> beautiful (photos can be sent by email).  She was made using plans for
> "Snorri," an ocean-going ship (knarr), which is the type of ship the Vikings
> used for Trans-Atlantic passage.  The ship traveled with the exhibition to
> two venues after New York, and at the end of October we would like to place
> it in a permanent home.
>
> We are trying to locate institutions that might be interested in acquiring
> this Viking ship exhibit, as we do not have the space to have it permanently
> displayed.  She would be an elegant addition to the right collection and
> would be a perfect cornerstone for educational programs.
>
> Please bear in mind that this is not a proper replica -- not built with
> authentic techniques, and it couldn't go on the water -- but it looks
> correct and received the blessing of the directors of the Viking Ship
> Museums in Oslo and Roskilde (Roskilde helped oversee this project for
> accuracy).
>
> I would be delighted to hear any suggestions about organizations that may
> be interested in having this excellent display.  Any thoughts you have on
> this would be greatly appreciated.  Please feel free to contact me at the
> telephone or email below.
