This is Oslo’s new PUBLIC LIBRARY. It’s unbelievable. Completely free, open to everyone until 10pm every day. There is a wine bar. Views to die for. All the books.

This is very cool: a shipwreck has just been discovered at the bottom of Norway’s biggest lake, Mjøsa, at 410m depth. The shape suggests it may be as old as the 1300s! Source/Photos: NRK and FFI/NTNU

It’s full of study spaces and reading nooks, places you can eat your lunch & charge your phone. Borrow books, music, films, etc.

Oh and of course there’s a makers’ workshop with sewing machines and other craft equipment to use freely, plus a room with 3D printers & high end computers with graphics software

I can finally share that in July, I will be starting a new job as a senior advisor on academic content development for the new Museum of the Viking Age in Oslo!! This is literally my dream job and I can’t believe I get to work with these collections over the next year. 😍😭/1

Shuffleboard with a view, anyone? This is basically a gorgeous communal living room for the city, with books.

(Oh and I had to look for my own book there too, obviously 😬)

Or you could play the drums or guitar. (It’s only just opened and there’s a pandemic so not everything is up and running just yet!)

Seriously: these oak leaves are 8000 years old. They were found in the soil sample in Garry’s box from the Solent sea bed and were once part of the Mesolithic ground surface. Mind boggling!!

What’s in the box, Garry? The contents came from the seabed and seriously blew my mind when I helped excavate the sample in the lab! 🤯 Find out what we discovered tonight on Digging for Britain, BBC2 at 8pm! @maritimetrust @theAliceRoberts

Exciting new boat discovery in Norway! This time, an almost perfectly preserved LOG BOAT. Why is this exciting? And does it relate to the Vikings? Repton? And the Silk Roads? Maybe.... bear with me: #riverkings /1 Photos: Leon Arne Kleiva via Facebook/Arkeologi i Norge
