Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Más de 1,000 años de historia de Lincolnshire están reunidos en un edificio moderno y elegante con una fachada de cristal que refleja la catedral medieval en lo alto. Una moneda de oro romana del siglo IV se encuentra a solo unos pasos de una espada vikinga oxidada, mostrando cuán drásticamente cambió el poder en el suelo de East Midlands.
Destacados: La galería de arqueología del museo exhibe los huesos reales de un caballero medieval encontrados debajo de un estacionamiento en Lincoln, aún vistiendo fragmentos de cota de malla. Puedes presionar tu nariz contra el vidrio y ver el lugar exacto donde una bala de mosquete le rompió una costilla, una conexión visceral con una muerte de hace 500 años.
Consejos de expertos
- Head upstairs first when the gallery opens, as most visitors linger on the ground floor and you'll have the Viking and medieval cases nearly to yourself.
- The balcony overlooking the atrium offers the best photo angle, capturing the modern glass interior against the old stone cathedral visible from the windows.
- Skip the audio guide and download the free app instead, it has the same content plus extra video of archaeologists digging up local finds.
- Wear comfortable shoes because the galleries sprawl across two floors with more than 10 rooms, and you'll want to see everything.
