Myths in art and handiwork

Museums have recently begun showing their collections on the web. People with great interest in the past have also done this.
Here is an overview of these sites, where you'll find interesting depictions of runestones, jewelry and other artifacts with connection to pre-historic mythologies and old beliefs. These artifacts are often of such a high quality that they are difficult to copy with modern means.

Bildekunst Norden
"I et tværfagligt emne i 2.kl. på Resen Skole i Skive, er det oplagt at inddrage faget billedkunst - ikke for at illustrere myterne, men for at genskabe og indleve sig i dem, så den styrke og kraft, der er i disse fortællinger, bliver integreret og synliggjort.
I dansk - musik - kristendom er der blevet læst - fortalt - sunget om guderne og deres verden. Gennem filmen "Valhalla" har de fleste børn en forestilling om hele det nordiske univers, og det er klart, at denne etablering sætter sine spor på godt og ondt. Den kunstskat, vi har, er anvendt for at mangfoldiggøre elevernes syn på emnet."
