Vikings the Exhibition transports visitors to the Viking Age (the 8th-11th centuries), as brought to light through modern archaeological discoveries. Nearly 500 ancient artifacts—many never before seen outside of Scandinavia—reveal new insights into a legendary people. Striking examples of Viking craftsmanship will be on display, including the Gokstad II, a replica Scandinavian Viking boat. 

The Westminster Kennel Club 140th Annual Dog Show (February 15th and 16th, 2016) holds day sessions at Piers 92/94 on the Hudson in midtown, while Madison Square Garden plays host to evening meets, including Tuesday’s anointing of the Best in Show.
