Staffordshire Hoard Dark Age Discovery

Staffordshire Arts

The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery

Saturday 21 July 2012 – Sunday 1 September 2013

The Staffordshire Hoard is the largest and most valuable Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found. Now an exciting new exhibition at The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery will set it in its historical context and reveal the story of its discovery and conservation. More than a hundred specially chosen pieces will be displayed in all their dazzling glory. 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?
