If you can’t visit Harborough Museum to see the Treasure, look out for the Travelling Exhibition which may be coming to a venue near you.

Touring for at least five years, it will tour the East Midlands for the first year before going out further afield. The exhibition includes 20 of the real coins and was written by the original excavators themselves, exploring their thoughts theories and their excitement at the once in a lifetime discovery. You can download the text from the exhibition here:

The exhibition also boasts replicas of many of the artefacts as they would have looked two thousand years ago. They display the incredible craftsmanship of the Iron Age Britons.

If you are involved in working in a museum and are interested in hosting the exhibition please contact Harborough Museum.
