Kendal Museum - really good by Blingo_von_Trumpenstein on Tuesday, 01 February 2011
(User Info | Send a Message)
Yet another great English museum.
Superb collection of flaked Langdale Group VI stone axes (but strangely only 1 polished example) with very useful descriptions.
A couple of gigantic Bronze Age axe hammers (and I do mean gigantic).
Many bronze artifacts.
A pair of specs from 1450ish !!
Excellent for comparison of types. Very good local history exhibits.
Some interesting Brigantes information and artifacts. I consider myself part of the Brigantes Nation so this was very moving.
2 great stone lithophones that you can play to your hearts content. Being a semi-pro percussionist I was on the bigger one for quite a while and now intend to construct one.
Very good natural history display including 2 golden eagles and an insane extinct moose skulll and antlers - you have to see it to believe it! (Look up when upstairs!)
Wonderful mineral displays.
No photos allowed - boo.
Totally free - just have to sign in.
