'Traces' Photographic Exhibition + Gold Sun Disc
Jul 09, 2015, 20:25
Went to Wiltshire Museum today while in Devizes. Very much enjoyed the photographic/ceramic exhibition by Steve Speller and Alison Milner. All my favourites there, WKLB, Silbury, Devil's Den, Merry Maidens (Cornwall) and some I've never seen before such as the Hellstone in Dorset. Superb!

Also visited the excellent rest of the museum which is currently displaying two gold sun discs - one found in Jug's Grave, Monkton Farleigh and the other in Mere barrow. Although not apparently connected they are both very similar - smaller than a £2 coin with a cross pattern.

PS:
There is also an exhibition of finds made as part of the"Between Stonehenge and Avebury: Marden and the Vale of Pewsey Project".
