With artefacts from the Nicolson archaeological collection, the pop-up brought the museum to the community for those who might not typically have the opportunity to have such a cultural encounter.
The Nicholson Collection contains more than 30,000 artefacts representing ancient cultures from the Mediterranean, Middle East and Europe – spanning the early Stone Age to late Medieval times.
There were “real museum objects” and craft replicas, as well as plenty of activities and giveaways.
