Museum Jorvik – About Jorvik
The world famous JORVIK Viking Centre is a ‘mustsee’ for visitors to the city of York and is one of
the most popular visitor attractions in the UK.
Welcoming over 16 million visitors over the past 29
years, visitors journey through the reconstruction
of Viking-Age streets, as they would have been
1000 years ago. JORVIK Viking Centre also offers
four exciting exhibitions and the chance to actually
come face to face with a ‘Viking’.
The remains of 1,000 year old houses are revealed
beneath your feet, objects taken from the excavations are explored and Viking-age timbers
are brought before your eyes. New audio and video displays help you to investigate all of the
information gathered from the 5-year long dig at Coppergate and piece together the puzzle
of where the Vikings came from, why they came here and how they lived and died. At
JORVIK Viking Centre you are standing on the site of one of the most famous and astounding
discoveries of modern archaeology. Between the years 1976-81 archaeologists from York
Archaeological Trust revealed the houses, workshops and backyards of the Viking-Age city of
Jorvik as it stood nearly 1,000 years ago. These incredible discoveries enabled us to build the
JORVIK Viking Centre on the very site where the excavations had taken place, creating a
groundbreaking visitor experience that enabled you to experience life in Viking-Age York.
As you travel around the Viking-age city of Jorvik aboard our state of the art time capsules
you will encounter the old-Norse speaking citizens, see inside their houses and back yards,
experience a blast of smoke from blacksmith’s furnace and enjoy the smell of home-cooked
stew inside the home of our amber worker
Who were the Vikings?
Vikings were warriors. More precisely ‘ Viking’ is the
name by which the Scandinavian sea-borne raiders of
the early medieval period are now commonly known.
Even before the earliest Viking raids on the
monasteries, the Anglo-Saxons used an Old English
word ‘wicing’. But this was not a word that they used
often or exclusively for the Scandinavian raiders;
instead it was used for all-comers and meant ‘pirate’ or
‘piracy’. It was only in the late tenth or early eleventh
century, in Anglo-Saxon poems such as ‘The Battle of
Maldon’ that wicing came to mean ‘a Scandinavian
sea-raider’.Vikings were not professional privateers or
full-time soldiers – or at least not at first. Originally
they were full-time fishermen and farmers who spent
much of the year at home. Only in the summer would
they have rallied to the call of a local leader and
ventured across the sea to raid, trade or seek out new
lands to settle.
The Old Norse language spoken in Scandinavia used the word ‘vikingr’ in its vocabulary, but
its origins are uncertain. The explanation currently favoured is that it originally meant ‘a
seaman who came from the Vik district of Oslo fjord’ and then came to mean sea-borne
warrior, firstly from that area and later from all over Scandinavia.
Jorvik now
You can discover exactly what
was found at Coppergate
during the 5-and-a-half-yearlong excavation. Under your
feet you will see the
reconstructed excavation
exposing timber-framed and
wattle houses, objects
discarded by residents and
work in progress by the team
of professional archaeologists
who worked here. You will
also see 1,000-year-old
timbers and artefacts and
find out how these
fascinating objects were
unearthed, conserved and researched. Audio-visual presentations explain where the Vikings
came from, how they travelled here, why they settled and how they lived, worked and
traded with other civilizations across the world. Our Viking hosts will also
help you to learn more. By discovering Coppergate yourself you will be able to start to piece
together the jigsaw of Jorvik and find out how York Archaeological Trust was able to
reconstruct the city right here on the site where it was first uncovered.
City wall –de stadsmuur
No visit to York would be complete without a walk around the City Walls. At 3.4 kilometres
long, the beautifully preserved walls are the longest medieval town walls in England. About
2.5 million people walk along all or part of the City walls each year, enjoying some amazing
views. The completion of the entire circuit will take approximately 2 hours. There are five
main bars or gateways, one Victorian gateway, one postern (a small gateway) and 45 towers.
The walls weigh approximately 100,000 metric tonnes.
Shopping
Coppergate shopping centre.
The Coppergate Centre is York's shopping centre within the city walls. It is home to the
famous Jorvik Viking Centre and many big-name high street shops, café's, galleries and
museums. Coppergate has an on-site multi-story car park and the central bus stops and
railway station are only a short walk away. Shops include Fenwick's, Topshop, Marks &
Spencer Home, Boots, Topman, Miss Selfridge, Evans, Clarks, The Whisky Shop and Joy to
name a few.
