Treasures of the Viking Age: The Galloway Hoard Exhibition Tickets

Travel back to AD 900 and see the Galloway Hoard — over 90 Viking-age treasures unearthed after 1,100 years beneath Scottish soil.

Marvel at silver arm rings, gold brooches, heirloom relics and silk preserved through centuries of careful Viking craftsmanship.

Discover how these finds reveal connections from Scotland to Central Asia and reshape our understanding of Viking-era trade.

Explore Melbourne Museum’s vast galleries, from dinosaur fossils to First Peoples stories, all included with your ticket.

Fun fact: The Galloway Hoard’s careful burial preserved rare organic materials, including silk — a first for any Viking discovery.

The exhibition was very informative and well laid out with excellent displays and individual pieces that demonstrated the broad range of items in the hoard and the different eras and original areas the items were from.

We went to see this on a Monday morning, before Chrisrmas holidays, so there weren't a lot of people there. Had time to read everything and examine the exhibits. Truly amazing. Unbelievable craftsmanship on show. Interactive screens make for an individualised visit, see as much as you want. The exhibit on the crystal bottle was long and could have been a video by itself. Would not like to be there with lots of people though, would have had to rush. Beautiful exhibition

The exhibition was great with lots of information. I particularly appreciated the 6 "closer look" manipulated images of 6 items as the actual relics are too small for my eyes to see the intricate details. I was not so impressed with museum staff.
