The British Museum has devised an ingenious Google Map's based receive to promote the cinematic unloosen of Vikings Live. Today, inwards 380 U.K. cinemas as well as inwards fifty cinemas roughly the world, the British Museum are screening a alive guided tour of the museum's Vikings exhibition.
Rather than practice a unproblematic painting demo house finder map for the number the British Museum has released a Google Map which too shows the location of all U.K. towns alongside Norse place-names. The Norse Placenames Map non exclusively shows the lasting legacy of the Norse invasion on large sections of the U.K. it too allows yous to click on private town names to larn to a greater extent than nigh the etymology of the place-name.
For example, the etymology of the town of 'Scunthorpe' is explained equally 'Skuma's outlying farm/settlement'. When yous search for a town on the map non exclusively tin yous uncovering out nigh the etymology of its placename (if it has Norse origins) yous are too told the nearest painting demo house to the town, where yous tin spotter Vikings Live.
Vikings Live is screening inwards cinemas roughly the U.K. today only. The exhibition itself is straightaway on at the British Museum.
If yous are interested inwards the pregnant behind place-names yous powerfulness too similar this map of U.S. States. Back inwards 2010 I used the the Google Maps label library to practice this simple US States Etymology map.
The map shows the pregnant of each U.S. dry reason bring upward based on the 'U.S. State Name Etymologies' entry on Wikipedia.
