Timetraveling and old treasures

A few weeks back my mum decided to take me to a castle named "Schallaburg", a few hours away by car. It is one of those castles where my grandfather would often work as art transporteur and exhibition installment staff, when he was still alive so naturally I was extra excited about this.
But the castle itself was not the sole reson for our trip - my mum had heard, that there was a temporary Viking exhibition goin on and she just knew that I would want to see this!

She was right. Very right.

Naturally I was squealing and impatiently moving about on my seat like a wee Elfling until we finally arrived and got  to admire the beauty of ancient handicrafts, that truly took my breath away!

Isn't this the most epic playground you have ever seen?

But I will let the images speak for themselves - for those wanting to feel even more taken back in time, here is some music for you to go as you gaze upon the beautiful jewellery and weapons of old:

A very magical and inspiring week to you all!*~
