Exhibitions

We have staged some incredible exhibitions over the last few years. We’ve had life sized dinosaurs, built a Medieval street complete with sights, sounds and smells, had a Georgian courtroom as part of a ‘Crime and Punishment’ exhibition and much more…

We have some exciting exhibitions for 2012 planned too!

Vikings!
2 June – 7 October 2012
Our summer blockbuster for 2012 for all the family! Step back in time to the Age of the Vikings! Join the Viking feast in our recreated longhouse, read all about warrior battles and adventures written in the Vikings Sagas eight centuries ago, and stand on the prow of a Viking ship and imagine crossing the Northern seas to raid and plunder… Bust the myths by discovering fun facts about daily life, entertainment and beliefs, and view some amazing Viking finds from all over Britain. Absorb the sights, sounds and smells in our hands-on exhibition.

There is an admission charge for this exhibition (Adult £4, Children £2.50, Concessions £3.50, Families £12), but it will be FREE to holders of our annual Heritage Pass.

We have also started developing a series of touring exhibitions for hire to other museums. Please contact us to find out more.
