The PhD project investigates the reception of Viking gold treasure finds in the Baltic Sea region of the 19th and 20th centuries. Their discovery, their way into museums and collections, their presentation there, as well as research and popularisation allow conclusions to be drawn about processes of identification with and demarcation from this "shared" Scandinavian heritage in the politically and culturally heterogeneous Baltic Sea region. These processes will be assessed from a comparative perspective.
