Abstract: Let S be a general complex Nikulin surface of genus 8, a geometric construction of S is given as follows. Consider a smooth 3-fold linear section T of the Grassmannian G(1,4) and the Hilbert scheme of rational normal sextic curves of T. In it consider the special family of sextics A which are also contained in the congruence of bisecant lines to a rational normal quartic curve of P^4. We show that S is biregular to a quadratic section of T containing a sextic A. In particular A admits a 1-dimensional family of bisecant lines contained in G(1,4) and 8 of them are in S. This explicit construction is then used to prove that the moduli space of genus 8 Nikulin surfaces is rational.
