British Museum - Step into Stonehenge

 

Nebra Sky Disc, Germany, about 1600BC, the world’s oldest surviving map of the stars

With the spring term in full swing, the team have been busy welcoming everyone back to the Museum – and our summer term school bookings are now open. Book now to secure your visit

Step into The world of Stonehenge with your school, on display until 17 July. This special exhibition reveals the secrets of Stonehenge, through a variety of fascinating objects, including the world’s oldest surviving map of the stars, the Nebra Sky Disc, and a remarkably preserved 4,000-year-old timber circle dubbed ‘Seahenge’.

“If Stonehenge is one of the world’s most remarkable surviving stone circles, then Seahenge is the equivalent in timber.” Dr Jennifer Wexler
