Corinium Museum, Cirencester

WHAT IS IT? FIND OUT AT THE CORINIUM MUSEUM!

Ever wondered what that mystery object is that you've inherited, dug up in the garden or found in the loft?

Now you can find out at a special drop-in day at the Corinium Museum from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, April 30.

Archaeologists Paula Gentil and Alison Brookes will be on hand to help you identify your mystery objects.

Paula said: "Each year many thousands of objects are discovered, by metal detector users, by people whilst out walking, gardening or going about their daily work.

"Such discoveries offer an important source for understanding our heritage and help archaeologists build a picture of past societies. We're hoping that we will be able to identify objects for Cotswold residents, but please note that we won't be able to provide valuations."

As well as talking to Alison and Paula, people will be able to discover more about the Portable Antiquities Scheme and the Treasure Act

The event is Included in the price of admission to the Museum: (Adults �3.70, Children/students �2.00, Concessions �2.70)
