Om
Raske fakta: Over 1000 år av Lincolnshires historie er pakket inn i én elegant, moderne bygning med en glassfasade som reflekterer den middelalderske katedralen ovenfor. En romersk gullmynt fra 300-tallet ligger bare noen få meter fra et rustet vikingsverd, og viser hvor dramatisk makten skiftet på tvers av East Midlands jord.
Høydepunkter: Museets arkeologiutstilling viser de faktiske knoklene til en middelalderridder funnet under en parkeringsplass i Lincoln, fortsatt iført fragmenter av ringbrynje. Du kan trykke nesen mot glasset og se det nøyaktige stedet hvor en muskettkule knuste ribben hans, en visceralt nærværende forbindelse til en 500 år gammel død.
Insidertips
- 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.
