Unlock the secrets of the Hoard today

The largest ever Bronze Age hoard to be discovered in London has been unearthed in Havering. This significant find is now the focal point of our major new exhibition, Havering Hoard: A Bronze Age Mystery, which opens today at the Museum of London Docklands.


This intriguing discovery raises numerous questions about not just the objects themselves but about the people who buried them. Could this treasure have been a religious offering? Were they hoping to recycle the metal or control access to the material? Was it a rejection of bronze tools as iron technology emerged?


Now it's your chance to share in the mystery of the hoard and discover what life was like during the Bronze Age, when the land where London now exists was a very different place. 


Exhibition entry is included when you book a free timed ticket to the museum.
