Buried around AD 900, and found in 2014 by metal detectorists, the Galloway Hoard contains over 5 kilograms of silver, gold and other materials. It brings together a stunning variety of rare objects and ancient heirlooms from the early medieval kingdoms of Britain and Ireland, mainland Europe, and as far away as Central Asia. The careful way the hoard was buried helped preserve incredibly rare organic materials such as silk and other textiles.
The hoard has transformed our understanding of the Viking Age in Scotland at a critical moment in history: the formation of the political entities we now know as Scotland, England and Ireland, in a time of Viking raids.
This display offers visitors a tantalising glimpse into who buried the hoard, their stories, the world of Viking-age Europe, and the cutting-edge conservation and research now revealing its secrets.
