'Yggdrasil' by Dagfin Werenskiold in Oslo City Hall
Subject
Norse Mythology
Description
The marble fountain in Oslo City Hall depicts Yggdrasill with the Norns at its base ready to water it, and the various animals that live in its branches. It was designed by Dagfin Werenskiold.
Norse myth has become a staple influence of gaming, to the extent that it often features in minor ways in games with no plot-line linking it to the Norse gods - this legendary weapon named Gjallarhorn (after the horn associated with the God Heimdallr blown in advance of Ragnarök) from Bungie's first-person shooter / role-playing game 'Destiny' is one such example.
I found these two at Aldi Süd supermarket, Germany. They are chicken nuggets and salami aimed at children advertised with the German children's series "Wickie", an animated series about a clever Viking boy and his adventures.

In the first part of this lecture, Professor Freedman discusses the emergence of the Vikings from Scandinavia in the ninth and tenth centuries. The Vikings were highly adaptive, raiding (the Carolingian Empire), trading (Byzantium and the Caliphate) or settling (Greenland and Iceland) depending on local conditions. Through their wide-ranging travels, the Vikings created networks bringing into contact parts of the world that were previously either not connected or minimally so. Professor Freedman concludes the lecture, and the course, by considering what's been accomplished between 284 and 1000. Although Europe in the year 1000 experienced many of the same problems as did the Roman Empire 284 where we began -- population decline and lack of urbanization, among others -- the end of the early Middle Ages also arguable heralds the emergence of Europe and Christendom as cultural constructs and sets the stage for the rise of the West.

9th century Viking graffiti in Hagia Sophia, Istanbul.
Subject
Graffiti - Runes
Description
Photograph of a Viking inscription in Hagia Sophia, Istanbul. The Norse personal name -alftan (Halvdan) can be read here, but the rest of the runes are illegible. It is likely that they originally spelled out the Norse equivalent of 'Halvdan woz ere': Halvdan carved these runes. This is one of two known runic inscriptions in the Hagia Sophia, although a further five have possibly been found.
