What does the hoard tell us about mothers, community and family connections over 1,000 years ago? What heirlooms discovered in this collection link to motherhood? And why were they passed from generation to generation?

Find out how revered medieval matriarchs were as our Exhibitions Content Coordinator takes you beyond the impressive amounts of gold and silver and delves into the more personal items found in one of the largest hoards from Viking Age Britain. Along with the guided tour, you will enjoy exclusive access to the exhibition for a full hour before it opens to the public! After the tour, take a moment to unwind with a snack and hot (or cold) drink provided by the Museum Café.

Limited spaces available for this exclusive before-hours tour. Snack and drink included in the ticket price: Mothers Day Galloway Hoard Tour
