Visitors encouraged to celebrate National Archaeology Day at Swansea Museum this weekend

Swansea Museum is putting on a range of free activities to celebrate National Archaeology Day on 14 July

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 11, 2012 - HISTORIC re-enactments, Roman cookery and glass-making demonstrations are among the activities taking place at Swansea Museum to mark National Archaeology Day this Saturday (July 14).

The free event takes place between 10.30am and 4pm and is being organised by Swansea Council and the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust.

Other activities will include the chance to excavate a skeleton in the museum garden. Younger visitors will also have the opportunity to make necklaces and helmets.

A number of historical societies will be on hand to answer questions and help visitors discover more about archaeology.

Professional archaeologists will also be delivering a number of lectures throughout the day and guided SA1 heritage walks that explore the history of Swansea’s docks and waterfront have been arranged. The guided walks have been organised in partnership with the West Glamorgan Archive Service.

Cllr Nick Bradley, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said: “We’re lucky to have indoor attractions of Swansea Museum’s calibre in the city. This free event will help introduce visitors of all ages to the fascinating world of archaeology and the rich history we have right here on our doorstep in Swansea.”
