Archaeology and Stonehenge

The museum’s archaeology collection is one of the most important outside a national museum in Britain, including artefacts from Stonehenge, the Amesbury Archer and medieval finds from Old Sarum. Many of these items are displayed in the Wessex gallery, a display of international importance which places the story of Stonehenge within its wider chronological and regional context whilst telling the story of Salisbury and the surrounding area from prehistoric times to the Norman conquest.
