The Year 1000 will be at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden through March 17, 2024.

This major family exhibition takes you on a colourful journey in time through the middle of the Middle Ages: the period 900-1100. The year 1000 brings you close to the people of the time and their ideas about the world. The exhibition passes through their villages, stops by at the imperial residence in Nijmegen, and visits Utrecht Cathedral and the treasuries of Maastricht. You will also explore Byzantium and the Rome of one thousand years ago. The exhibition presents more than four hundred objects from all over the Netherlands and far beyond. They include almost every important archaeological artefact from the period 900-1100 that has been found in the Netherlands. Among the highlights are a Viking drinking-horn from the Basilica of Our Lady in Maastricht and the famous Egmond Gospels from the Royal Library of the Netherlands. The display also features swords, ship timbers, golden jewellery (including the recent treasure from Hoogwoud), coin hoards, the pectoral cross of St Servatius, the oldest chess pieces in the Netherlands, and a wooden ladder from a well.
