From Bronze Age gold and Viking silver to hoards of coins, discover Treasure unearthed in this new exhibition.
Revealing personal stories and global connections, Treasure: History Unearthed features the largest collection of archaeological treasure ever shown in the region, with finds from the North West and Wales. Highlights include key items from a number of national and regional institutions including the British Museum and Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales.
With beautiful jewellery accidentally lost and vast hoards that were buried on purpose, the displays uncover 5000 years of stories.
Explore how our understanding of Treasure has changed over time from Victorian discovery to recording through the Portable Antiquities Scheme. Gain an insight into how these stories are revealed through conservation and collaborative research. See glimpses of behind the scenes museum work and scientific analysis undertaken with the University of Liverpool.
This new exhibition, expertly curated by National Museums Liverpool’s archaeology team, is an exciting celebration of finds. Archaeology, history and science meet to reveal remarkable objects, with their stories told in both English and Welsh.
