Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again

Learn about Grauballe Man's life, afterlife, bog and the interpretation of him and his time

It was the 26th of April 1952, and it was a Saturday morning. I stood on the shovel and it wobbled like a rubber ball. I hit him right on the shoulder. This is how Tage Busk Sørensen, a Danish peat-cutter, describes his discovery of ‘Grauballe Man’, one of the most spectacular discoveries from Denmark’s prehistory. Years later, these Iron-Aged, Danish bog bodies – often brutally killed as ritual sacrifices - would become a powerful symbol through which Seamus Heaney would address the violence of his contemporary Northern Ireland.Join us to hear from archaeologist Pauline Asingh, lead exhibition developer at Moesgaard Museum, as she presents the latest discoveries about Grauballe Man, his life, his afterlife, his bog and the interpretation of him and his time.
