More Hoarded days…..

A shining golden ring
Who knows what treasures,

A Golden Day,
Sunday 21st April
at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery
12.00 - 3.30
As
the Hoards exhibition unrolls its treasures in Buxton Museum and Art Gallery,
we are unfolding our own series of Hoarding events to accompany it (you can download a copy of the full events programme at this Hoards link)
 |
| Reynard's Kitchen Cave hoard |
Using
a set of questions to shape our plans, our events respond to the challenges
- Where would you hide your hoard? (Tricky Treasure Maps, 18th April)
- What would guard your hoard? (Here be Dragons 25th April, Giants, Dragons and Terrible Traps, 26th May)
- What treasures would your Hoard hold? (A Golden Day 21st April, Curious Coins 30th May)
- What will hold your Hoard? (Treasure Chests 5th May, Silk Purses and Sow’s Ears 15th May, 2nd June; Pottery Piggies 9th June)
Over
the next couple of weeks, we’ll get entries on all of these on this blog (a couple
are already linked in the list above)
Meanwhile,
keep an eye on the Museum website and on the Creeping Toad facebook page for
details
A Golden Day
Sunday 21st April
An afternoon starting your own
hoard: make your own treasure. There will be the broken shells of golden eggs
hatching golden fish perhaps, or beautiful birds. Maybe your own golden brooch
or badge.
