Featuring spectacular jewellery, weapons and treasures alongside the latest archaeological discoveries and research, Anglo-Saxon England will shed new light on England's origins.
In this major exhibition, we will reveal the vibrant and interconnected society that emerged in England between the 5th and 7th centuries.
Far from being isolated after the end of Roman rule, England was connected by networks of trade, migration and exchange to communities across Europe, to the Mediterranean and beyond.
Magnificent gold artefacts, gemstones traded across Europe and Asia, objects used in lavish feasts, treasures from the age of Sutton Hoo and precious jewellery worn by powerful women reveal a society shaped by movement, belief, ambition and alliance.
Through extraordinary objects and cutting-edge research, discover how Anglo-Saxon England became part of an inter-connected world during this remarkable period.
