In 2019, Hoards: a hidden history of ancient Britain brought jewellery, coins, Iron Age gold torcs and other archaeological finds to Buxton Museum and Art Gallery.
The British Museum and Salisbury Museum partnership exhibition followed a 2016 display at the British Museum. At Buxton it brought together objects from those museums with local hoards and material from Sheffield and Derby.
The 2019 programme advertised free workshops, talks and children’s activities alongside the exhibition, including coin designs, piggy banks and dragon puppets. Read the original exhibition feature.
