Deep beneath the street of Coppergate, archaeologists discovered the remains of the place that the Vikings once called home. They used that evidence to create one of the world’s most famous reconstructions of the Viking Age. Now, following 20 years of research and using 21st century technology, the 10th century city has been recaptured more perfectly than ever before, bringing new JORVIK dramatically to life.
A massive range of detailed, often microscopic, evidence was recovered and used to recreate every last aspect of everyday viking-life.

 

      
       


Technology of the 21st century transformed the Jorvik Viking Centre into a dynamic vision of York in the 10th century. The entire Jorvik Viking Centre ride and displays were replaced with a new exhibition. The reconstruction depicts a cityscape from AD975, moving the timeline on 27 years, where visitors will witness how far the city has developed with 'high-rise', two storey buildings.
       
 

Key new features of JORVIK include:

A new time machine to transport visitors back through over 1000 years of the city's history

State-of-the-art time capsules take visitors through the recreated Viking City, with several commentaries available in a number of languages

A dazzling new artefacts gallery, where technology enables visitors to see the genuine Viking Age artefacts displayed both as they were found by archaeologists and how they were used in the 10th century
