INTERNATIONAL LOAN OF ODIN FROM LEJRE
From the 17th of august 2026 to the 16th of february 2027, Odin from Lejre will be on loan to the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, where it will be featured in the exhibition Redbad: the Legendary King. The exhibition tells the story of the Frisian king Redbad (c. 670–719) and the possible connections that existed between the kingdoms around the North Sea during the Late Germanic Iron Age and the Early Viking Age.
The loan highlights the international significance of Odin from Lejre as one of the most iconic archaeological artefacts from the pre-Christian period in Scandinavia. At the same time, it gives an international audience the opportunity to experience one of Lejre’s most exceptional archaeological finds.
In that regard from 17th of august to 31th of october 2026, it will not be possible to experience the figurine in the exhibition at Lejre Museum. It will return to the museum when we reopen for the 2027 season.
