Exhibition: The world of Stonehenge

Stonehenge in southern England is unique — but the stone circle is too big to fit in a museum. An exhibition at the British Museum gives it a new context, with hundreds of spectacular finds from the Bronze Age.



Gold necklace — 800-700 B.C.

This necklace was found in Ireland, which also has impressive prehistoric and early historic sites, including Newgrange, a ritual site aligned with the position of the sun on Midsummer's Day. "The World of Stonehenge" exhibition at the British Museum showcases treasures from the Bronze Age from February 17 to July 17, 2022.
