The Galloway Hoard: A Decade of Discovery panel discussion
Resource type
Lecture
Abstract
A decade on, join us as we celebrate the discovery of the Galloway Hoard and share new findings.
The Galloway Hoard, buried around AD 900, was discovered by a metal detectorist on 1 September 2014 in Kirkcudbrightshire. It was allocated to National Museums Scotland in 2017 after a successful fundraising campaign supported by the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the Art Fund.
The Galloway Hoard was hailed as a remarkable Viking-age treasure and, in the ten years since its discovery, has been analysed by experts from across the globe. The Hoard has not only provided researchers with a window into an early medieval world of vast horizons and networks, but also intimate family heirlooms and sacred relics.
In this live online event, many of the experts who have studied the Galloway Hoard will discuss the unique insights it has revealed, and will share a vision for its future.
The event includes a live Q&A chaired by writer and broadcaster Sally Magnusson.
