| Last
year it was the turn of the Romans at Chedworth so this year we move to
the Anglo Saxons and the Staffordshire Hoard! Birmingham Museum has
designated and refurbished a gallery given over to some of the items
from the Staffordshire Hoard. It is an amazing selection of items,
albeit relatively modest in size, which displays the awesome skills of
craftsmen from the early Anglo Saxon period. After coffee on arrival, to put the viewing into context, we have scheduled a forty-minute talk by Dr. Stephen Dean, Principle Archeologist for Staffordshire County Council who is a renowned expert and lecturer on the Hoard. Following the talk, you are free to explore the Hoard and other major Museum collections. The Birmingham Gallery also has one of largest collections of Pre-Raphaelite paintings in the world. 8.15am Leave Museum steps 8.30am Leave Wild Gardens, Roath Park 10.45am Arrive Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery 11.00 am Coffee 11.30 am Talk by Dr. Stephen Dean 12.15 pm onwards Free time to explore Staffordshire Hoard Gallery and the Museum’s other collections.
