Welcome to the
Museum of
Archaeology
The Museum of Archaeology's collections range from the prehistoric to the post-medieval. Our gallery charting the story of Durham is housed within Palace Green Library.
What's On View All Events
The Prince Bishops of Durham loved to wear a crown and decorate everything they owned with symbols of crowns. Become royalty for the day and wear a crown upon your head.
Our new exhibition is here. This exhibition celebrates the wonderful animals that live in the British Isles. Join us this weekend and make a puppet inspired by the animals in our exhibition. Which one will be your favourite?
