Treasures of the Viking Age: The Galloway Hoard
The Galloway Hoard is one of the most significant European Viking-age discoveries and archaeological finds of the 21st century and the richest collection of rare and unique Viking-age objects ever found in Britain and Ireland.
Treasures of the Viking Age: The Galloway Hoard is an extraordinary collection of over 100 objects including a rare pectoral cross and a rich collection of jewellery including silver arm rings, beads and brooches. It also features the largest surviving collection of gold objects from Viking-age Britain and Ireland. Some of the objects hint at treasured family heirlooms and may have travelled thousands of miles to reach Scotland.
Buried for over 1000 years, the Hoard was discovered in 2014 in southwest Scotland and provides visitors a fascinating glimpse into the early medieval world. Including AV and 3D reconstructions, visitors will learn about the dedicated and ongoing conservation work that has been carried out on the Galloway Hoard since 2017.
