Dorset Museum & Art Gallery to Host 'Treasure!' Exhibition This Summer

Dorset Museum & Art Gallery will present 'Treasure!', an exhibition opening this summer that explores the search for antiquities and the thrill of discovering objects connecting us to ancestors. The show features finds from prehistoric, Roman, Viking, and Anglo-Saxon eras, highlighting Dorset's rich archaeology. It examines how treasured possessions became buried and lost for centuries before being recovered through archaeological excavation or metal detecting. New scientific research will be unveiled that changes understanding of early peoples of the Britannic islands.
