About

Our city's story is held in our memories, in written records, but also in hidden objects, waiting to be found. It is a story being told beneath our feet.

As the city changes and buildings are built, what's hidden becomes found, and many of these finds are now held in hundreds of boxes in Museum of Gloucester's collection.

Now, with the help of Cotswold Archaeology, we are opening up these boxes to explore the incredible stories from beneath our feet – who knows what treasures we might find? And you can witness this in here.

At Discovery Centre we are unboxing all this archaeology in a giant year-long project, and you can see the archaeologists at work, witness their discoveries, and take part in fun activities and events. Come on in!
