Køge Museum
Experience Völvur, Gold and Gods at Køge Museum
2 December 2021 to 31 December 2023
Welcome to the world of the gods! The exhibition Völvur, Gold and Gods takes you on a journey back into the Viking Age, zooming into the period when the Asa belief was superseded by Christianity. The transition from paganism is a farewell to Thor, Odin and Loke and a hello to God and Christian rituals.
Jim Lyngvild's 10 female portraits of völvur are a central part of the exhibition. You will see Minister of Culture and Church Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen, actress Ghita Nørby, singer Sanne Salomonsen and others portrayed as völvur.
Have a good time with Völvur, Gold and Gods!
