* who built causewayed enclosures and what they were used for

The Arches Exhibition Space will feature local artists’ work, starting with Vanessa Stone and her beautiful paper cut pictures of the district.

In our main exhibition gallery there will be a fabulous sensory experience for family audiences. Drop in and see Blood and Bone, an interactive installation. Spacecadets Air Designs have taken inspiration from human biology and the artworks are inspired by cells and organisms inside our bodies. You are invited to explore, listen to and touch a series of giant breathing tunnels and caves.

Friday June 21st - Fairgrounds for the dead: the prehistory of the Ashwell area by Andy B on Wednesday, 19 June 2019
(User Info | Send a Message)
Lunchtime Talk

Were the people who lived in North Hertfordshire before the Roman conquest faceless, boring people whose lives (and deaths) are beyond our understanding?

Archaeologist and museum curator Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews explores what we know about a fascinating prehistoric landscape between Baldock, Ashwell and Royston and how we can bring its inhabitants to life. Discover more about the monuments hidden under fields, the finds that were the possessions of prehistoric people and how they celebrated and remembered their dead.

Join us for a lunchtime talk by Keith at North Hertfordshire Museum.
Includes a free cup of tea or coffee.
Bring your sandwiches with you!

Fri, June 21, 2019
