When you say that Hulten brings 'the art of the Vandals to their
home'. Does that mean that Hulten brings artefacts of the Przeworsk/
Oder-Warthe culture to their 'Scandinavian homeland'? Or is he taking
Germanic objects found in North Africa to their 'Scandinavian
homeland'?

Also, the internet-page of this Vandalorum Museum states that it is a
museum of modern nordic art. Is it also including a section on the
Iron Age?

Hulten points to the Vaerend
region or Vendel in Uppland as possibilities although Vendsyssel seems
to be more likely in this contributors opinion.
