Weaving Njáls Saga Across the World: The Traveling Tapestry Tour
Description
Claudia Peterson is the driving force behind the North American tour of the crowd-sewn, Icelandic-wool Njáls Saga Tapestry — an extraordinary living artwork born in Hvolsvöllur, Iceland, with the mission of rallying support for a permanent museum to showcase this saga masterpiece in its hometown.
In this episode, we look into the tapestry’s unique place in Icelandic and world history and hear Claudia’s behind-the-scenes stories from the road — sharing how communities across North America, from Calgary to Seattle, are connecting with this epic piece of Viking heritage.
We also explore personal ties to Njáls Saga, the entrepreneurial vision of letting people in on a piece of Iceland’s saga legacy, and how this community-powered effort can help build a world-class museum in southern Iceland for generations to come.
You’ll hear insights on living history, the art of marketing, and the timeless psychology of humanity — all stitched together in this conversation that invites you to be part of the journey.
Discover how you can support, spread the word, and help bring Njáls Saga home — a rich tapestry indeed (pun absolutely intended).
