The initiative for ‘Viking Ships’ came from the Royal Danish Embassy in Dublin as part of the cultural project ‘Out of Denmark’ which was aimed at increasing knowledge of a wide spectrum of Danish culture. One of the closest and most valuable of these collaborations continues to be that with The National Museum of Ireland, and it has resulted in two major exhibitions: ‘Viking Ships’ at The National Museum of Ireland in the 1998-99 season, and ‘The Vikings in Ireland’ now showing at The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde until 30 December 2001. 165Ħ The Vikings in Ireland Edited by Anne-Christine Larsen, Roskilde 2001 Foreword The Viking Ship Museum has a long tradition of collaboration with foreign institutions and over the past thirty years has worked with more than twenty countries from four continents. 127 Anne-Christine Larsen The Hidden Island: An Outline of Danish-Irish Relations in 1000 Years. 115 Anne-Christine Larsen & Steffen Stummann Hansenĥ The Vikings in Ireland Edited by Anne-Christine Larsen, Roskilde 2001 The Exhibition – The Vikings in Ireland. 107 Gillian Fellows-Jensen Viking Ireland and the Scandinavian Communities in the North Atlantic. 99 Máire Ní Mhaonaigh Nordic Names and Loanwords in Ireland.
