“Mysterious”, “awe-inspiring”, “magical”, “sacred” and “eternal” are some of the words used to describe Stonehenge. Scholars and visitors alike have puzzled over this unique prehistoric monument for centuries. After years of excavation and thanks to groundbreaking advances in science and archaeology we are closer than ever to understanding Stonehenge.

 

The traveling exhibition Stonehenge: Ancient Mysteries and Modern Discoveries looks to over 400 ancient artifacts and the latest cutting-edge scientific research to answer questions about this iconic, mysterious World Heritage Site. The experience tracks the development of Stonehenge as a special place in the landscape, and explains the origins of the monument while illuminating the lives of the people behind it.

 

Visitors will leave the exhibition with new revelations into what Stonehenge meant to the people who built it and what it means to the world today.
