"Opening Day"

Today we are declaring ourselves open for business starting at 11am. May 8th, 2009. Not a bad date. But indeed this is a strange opening, at least from my American perspective. There is no fan fare, really, there is no list of invitees, there is not even any real idea if anyone will show up at all. We are opening our doors with everything in working order, but the exhibition not completely done (the last artifact will not arrive until May 29th). Today we are starting our "preview" and "getting operations in order". This is a good idea, a good model. Because on the one hand there is a museum and on the other hand there is the exhibition. The exhibition will get its own opening later. (17 juni to be exact). For more info, see Vikingaheimar.com!

I believe it will be actually ready to be shown around May 30th or June 1st. But if anyone wants to share in work in progress, they are most welcome. The super dramatic spotlighting on empty cases is a novel, and exciting new exhibition technique I am working on.

Or wait, turns out actually Vikings were super tiny, were actually little people. so the artifacts are there, you just can't see them!

In all seriousness, by next weekend there will be a huge improvement. Because the opening date we always discussed was May 20th. And that is the date I am working with.
