Viking silver goes on view in York

We will never know if the Vikings who buried a princely hoard of silver in a gilded cup near Harrogate in the 10th century expected to see it again. . .

After a "quick turn-round" in the conservation department of the British Museum (BM) the hoard - or some of it; only some 100 of 617 coins have yet been cleaned - is ready to go on show at the Yorkshire Museum.

From the BBC, with more here and here; the exhibition website is here.
