Tuesday 16th
Three and a half hours train journey on superb Danish rail network. Arrived to torrential rain.
Went to Copenhagen National Museum, where we were met by Flemming Kaul and Morten Axeboe and ushered through a labyrinth of offices, libraries and store rooms to discuss Bronze Age finds and decorative bracteates from 400-550 AD. We felt very privileged to be guided through the museum by such an eminent archaeologist/ curator and shown important artefacts like the Gundestrup cauldron and the Sun Chariot, and have the stories around them explained by the original researcher.
Came away amazed and inspired, after a full afternoon in the museum, and emerged into brilliant sunshine.
Now we are home exhausted and exhilarated and preparing to consilidate all our research as well as create a network of people we have met. More news to follow…..
