Du mercredi 23 au samedi 26 mai : Vikings: Beyond the Legend at Melbourne Museum

You’ve seen the TV series and you’ve heard the stories of savagery associated with the Vikings, now see them for what they really were. Recent archaeological discoveries have challenged our image of Vikings as pillaging and plundering pagans in horned helmets. Vikings: Beyond the Legend brings this rich, often-misunderstood culture to life, debunking stereotypes and providing insights into Viking domestic life, rituals and beliefs. At Melbourne Museum, over 450 artefacts come together to form the largest collection of its kind displayed in Australia. Among the rare treasures on show are the stunning skeletal remains of a Viking longship, one of the finest Thor’s-hammer pendants ever found, and Viking swords dating from 700 AD to 1100 AD. From the Swedish History Museum, Vikings: Beyond the Legend shows us why even 1000 years later, Viking culture still captivates imaginations. Find out more here.

Vendredi 25 mai : Hip Hop High Tea

Rizky’s Hip Hop High Tea is back in 2018! It’s been a while since the last pour of tea at MzRizk’s Hip Hop High Tea… now that the colder months are approaching, Rizky thinks it’s time to get comfy and warm up your soul with delicious vegan fare and exquisite teas whilst bumpin’ along to some throwback RNB jams from the 90s and early 2000s! MzRizk will be collaborating with local teahouse & apothecary Beit e’Shai, who will be serving their organic teas throughout the sitting. All teas and tisanes are handmade using 100% natural blends from certified organic ingredients. Head Chef Jarrod Moore will be designing an all vegan menu that includes vegan savouries and sweets. Rizky’s Hip Hop High Tea will take place at Belleville on Saturday May 25 from 2pm – 4pm. Located in a Heritage-Listed building just off Little Bourke Street and inspired by a dive bar in Paris, it is the perfect space to enjoy a few cups of tea with friends and family. The cost is $70 plus booking fee per person. Bookings essential for catering and dietary requirements. Tickets here.
