New mini exhibition series - Roman Warwickshire – Making Connections

Hosted by 10 County Libraries from Autumn 2024 to Spring 2025.

From high status tableware to everyday brooches, the objects found on Roman sites around Warwickshire tell us a lot about people’s daily lives and the connections and journeys made across the Roman Empire.

In the current exhibition touring around Warwickshire Libraries, a handful of star items from the collections of Warwickshire Museum Service, every objects has been chosen because they have a story to tell about people and places nearly 2000 years ago.

The small selection of objects from our collection that will be on display include glossy Samian ware bowls, pieces of carved Italian marble and bronze brooches, all found through archaeological investigations in Warwickshire. Which Library you visit, will determine which objects you see.

There will also be children’s activity sheets linked to the displays available at each library venue.
