Staffordshire Hoard at The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery

There is a permanent display of items from the Staffordshire Hoard at the museum and art gallery. The team at Stoke-on-Trent is leading the work to research the fascinating stories behind the hoard. Long-term, the team is working to raise money to create a permanent display that will uncover what Anglo-Saxon life was like in Staffordshire, the role local towns and cities played in Anglo-Saxon times, and the importance of the kingdom of Mercia.
