A visit to one of my absolute favourite museums as a language and history geek - which happens to be in my home town. Bryggens museum, Bergen, Norway, has probably the largest collection of Runic inscriptions anywhere. Found in excavations after a fire destroyed a large area in the oldest part of the city in the 1950s. Most are on wood, this on the leather of a shoe: "Amor vincit omnia" - Latin language in Runic script! 1/*
