On Display at JORVIK from 8 April to 7 May 2017
One of York’s historic treasures is returning to the place where it was found, as the York Helmet – an Anglian helmet buried during the Viking occupation of York – returns to Coppergate, where it will go on display at the new JORVIK Viking Centre.
This is your chance to see one of the most famous helmets in English history in JORVIK before it is returned to the Yorkshire Museum for their 'Viking: Rediscover the Legend' exhibition in May 2017.
