About
We're having a summer of Iron Age discovery!
Come to the Museum of Chelmsford to learn more about the Great Baddow Hoard and the people who would have handled these Iron Age gold coins. With three sessions to choose from and join in with, from treasure to learning about the Celts, the final weeks will be about how museums display and interpret unique and spectacular finds such as these.
Families can take part in crafts and games associated with the Great Baddow coin hoard and the museum, and learn something new along the way!
Weeks 3 & 4: Celts
