Staffordshire Hoard

An exciting new exhibition Staffordshire Hoard: Dark Age Discovery has set the Staffordshire Hoard in its historical context and reveal the story of its discovery and conservation. More than two hundred specially chosen pieces are now being displayed in all their dazzling glory until 1st September 2013. On show together for the first time in Britain, these breathtakingly beautiful examples of delicate Saxon metalwork have intrigued archaeologists and forced historians to question what they thought they knew about England in the seventh century. Every expert has a different opinion; what's yours?

A £3.3m price tag was placed on the Staffordshire Hoard and the total collection is 1,800 gold and some silver Anglo-Saxon artefacts and the amount makes the Staffordshire Hoard the most valuable treasure find ever.

Entry into the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery and the Staffordshire Hoard exhibition is FREE of charge.
