Festival of Archaeology 2023

Throughout July and the summer we are celebrating Barnsley's archaeolgical discoveries! The above film was made by local artist Fabric Lenny who has animated the archaeological displays at Experience Barnsley. Follow us on our social media where we will be sharing lots more #FantasticFinds and when you visit the museum look out for QR codes which make our stone heads come to life!
