Date
Saturday 5th April
Time
11:45 to 12:15
Learn all about the Treasure Act in this gallery talk on Saturday 5th April.
This gallery talk explores the recent changes to the definition of Treasure. We'll also be delving into two coin hoards we've recently acquired - the 11th century hoard of Hiberno-Manx coinage from Carnacavill, Co. Down and the mid-17th century hoard from near Kinbane Castle, Co. Antrim.
Our numismatics collections hold artistic, social, cultural, and political value. These important collections allow us to trace the rapid development of life during the medieval and later periods of history.
This talk is just before the Michael Dolley Anniversary Lecture, which is being held in partnership between National Museums NI and the Numismatics Society of Ireland (Northern Brand) to better preserve, promote and make numismatic heritage accessible to all.
