Museum of Archaeology • Durham University

This place has only just reopened, I was just passing on my way to see the Cathedral and got lucky scanning the QR code at the entrance for immediate access via Eventbrite eticket. The archaeology collection is available to view on the ground floor with an exhibition covering the history of the Durham Light Infantry (DLI) on the first floor. The archaeology collection is just one small room, mainly Roman artifacts but with a brief overview of the different archaeological periods in history eg. Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age etc. My highlight was actually the DLI exhibition as it's unique to Durham and covers the history of this unit across 210 years from its formation in 1758 to its absorption into another regiment in 1968.
