Hidden Treasure Exhibition - Museum of Canterbury

Published: 20 years ago Author: Michael Lewis

From 22nd November 2003 until 20th March 2004 the Museum of Canterbury will be hosting an exhibition focusing on archaeological finds made by members of the public in the Canterbury area.  The exhibition will aim to show the range and wealth of material uncovered by chance finders and metal detectorists in and around Canterbury, and to demonstrate how these finds add to the picture of the area’s past.

 The exhibition will feature regular finds surgeries run by the Kent Finds Liaison Officer, Andrew Richardson, as well as educational and interactive events.  Many important finds will be displayed for the first time, including an important group of Roman cremation vessels found by local detectorists and excavated under the supervision of Andrew Richardson.

The HIDDEN TREASURE exhibition will take place at the Museum of Canterbury, Stour Street, open Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm (last entry 4pm). Usual admission charge applies, but free to Canterbury residents.
