Catrinm visited on 3rd Feb 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 This is a fabulous museum - what a surprise.The Roos Carr figures are different to anything you can see elsewhere in the way of human representation from this era (around 500 bc). The log boat is phenomenal. The mosaics are beautiful and so many of them ! And free - we’ll done Hull Museums.
Runemage visited on 16th Apr 2005 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Very interesting visit and a must for prehistory enthusiasts. J.R.Mortimer, a prolific antiquarian excavated anything that looked like a lump in the landscape in the East Yorkshire Wolds area and his detailed records of neolithic and bronze age discoveries were published in what's known as 'Mortimer's Forty Years' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Robert_Mortimer. His 66,000 finds are in the museum, but only a comparative few are on display. The ones that are there show a superb quality of craftsmanship.
In addition, there is a good quality replica of the Folkton Drums, http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pe_prb/t/the_folkton_drums.aspx
The original and enigmatic quartzite-eyed Roos Carr figures http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections/collections/storydetail.php?irn=484&master=449
The Hasholme Boat, made from a huge hewn log in a watery preservation area http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections/collections/storydetail.php?irn=514&master=424
Iron Age Chariot Burials are a feature of the area and several are on display. My interest in history finishes about there, but there's lots more to be seen like Roman mosaics etc. http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections/collections/subtheme.php?irn=449

Bronze Age treasures include a spectacular display of exquisitely-crafted pottery beakers and food vessels as well as the magnificent swords, axes and daggers which were the luxury goods of those ancient times.
The North Grimston Sword is a particularly fine example of the Celtic metal-worker’s art. The Parisi tribe, who lived in East Yorkshire from about 300 BC, buried their dead under small barrows that were surrounded by square ditches.
Another of the museum’s great Iron Age treasures is the Hasholme Boat. Dating back some 2,300 years, the giant oak logboat sank whilst loaded with a cargo of wood and beef. Recovered by archaeologists in 1984, it is today displayed in a specially built ‘boat-lab’ where it is undergoing conservation treatment similar to that used on the famous Mary Rose.
