Beneath Our Feet: Archaeology of the Cambridge Region
Li Ka Shing Gallery
21 June 2023 - 14 April 2024
New archaeological discoveries are made every year. They are not always made by archaeologists, nor in the places you might expect. From people’s back gardens to scientific laboratories, the past is everywhere.
We welcome you to explore the archaeology of the Cambridge region in our new exhibition.
