Kroppedal Museum – Torden & Lynild

every day is a struggle

Kroppedal Museum
2019

The starting point of the exhibition is a large Viking burial ground close to Vridsløsemagle, which museum archaeologists discovered some years ago. Four of the Vikings found are “resurrected” in a mix of fact and fiction in the exhibition, which includes both an animated film and archaeological findings. The audience meets a Viking family, Erik, Astrid, Sif and Halfdan, and their story comprises the unified narrative, which you follow all the way through the exhibition. Along the way, the visitors stay in small, atmospheric cinemas and in themed rooms with objects, texts and scenography. The exhibition is part of the large communication project Vikingebro (“Viking Bridge”), which incorporates the landscape surrounding the museum as part of the complete narrative, including a reconstruction of the world’s longest Viking bridge and road.

Feedback

“In 2018 and 2019, Kroppedal Museum held the exhibition Hver dag er en Kamp (“Every Day is a Struggle”) in close cooperation with Torden og Lynild. We chose T&L over a more traditional exhibition architect, as we in the exhibition group had discussed the “narrative space” a great deal. Throughout the process, we have been extremely happy about the cooperation. They understood our ideas, had constructive criticism, and were able to play on with the ideas we sent off. T&L has a sharp eye for scenography and created a unified universe. The exhibition had a relatively modest budget, but this was in no way an obstacle, - T&L managed to seize the limited finances as a creative springboard, and it is my firm belief that we have received a great deal for our exhibition money.”

Behind the scenes

Some of the objects that can be seen in the exhibition. The objects were found close to Kroppedal Museum in conjunction with the large Viking burial site, which was excavated here.
