The Cheapside Hoard

This exhibition of the Cheapside Hoard at the Museum of London, is one of the most amazing I’ve ever seen. Here’s the first paragraph from their web site.

This October, the Museum of London will open a major new exhibition investigating the secrets of the Cheapside Hoard. This extraordinary and priceless treasure of late 16th and early 17th century jewels and gemstones – displayed in its entirety for the first time in over a century – was discovered in 1912, buried in a cellar on Cheapside in the City of London.

Not only are the jewels and other exhibits fabulous, the display is wonderful and it really gives the period a very different perspective.

I became a friend of the museum for just thirty pounds a year, but even if you queue up, you wouldn’t have to have waited long.

Anybody who visits London until the 27th April next year, should give the exhibition a visit.
