Het midden van de Middeleeuwen, de periode 900-1100, lijkt een zwart gat in de geschiedenis, eeuwen waarin niets gebeurde. Maar voor wat nu Nederland is, vormt het juist een tijd van grote veranderingen in klimaat, landschap, bebouwing, taal en samenleving. Tussen 900 en 1100 ontstaat een ‘Nederland’ dat nu nog herkenbaar is, met dijken om ontgonnen land, een burcht na elke rivierbocht en kerktorens aan de horizon.

In deze vierdelige podcastserie nemen conservator Annemarieke Willemsen en haar team de luisteraars mee in hun onderzoek naar deze periode.

De tentoonstelling 'Het jaar 1000. Nederland in het midden van de Middeleeuwen' is van 13 oktober 2023 tot en met 17 maart 2024 te zien in het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden.
