Our partners in spectacular Stonehenge exhibition!

The British Museum’s forthcoming exhibition, The world of Stonehenge (17 Feb-17 Jul) features important objects from three of our partner museums. The exhibition brings together over 430 objects from across Europe in a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle on the history of the ancient monument. Wiltshire Museum has lent its Bush Barrow Collection, including the Bush Barrow dagger.

The Salisbury Museum has provided some 158 individual items, including grave goods from the Amesbury Archer’s burial and a Late Neolithic pot, tools and arrowheads from Durrington Walls.

Dorset Museum is lending Early Bronze Age objects, the most important being from the Clandon Barrow burial, including an incised gold lozenge (pictured above).

Don’t miss Wiltshire Museums’ online talk about the exhibition on 3 March.
