Our permanent gallery
While our permanent gallery is closed for repairs, we have a small family-friendly exhibition exploring the Prehistoric and Roman past of Durham within the Museum of Archaeology at Palace Green Library. In this gallery, we explore objects that span 250,000 years of history - from Prehistory to the Romans.
