The objectives of the exhibition will be to: • Present the principal discoveries at Broadmead in an accessible and imaginative manner to appeal to the museum’s principal visitor groups • Show how Broadmead and Quaker Friars fit into the story of Bristol as a whole from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day • Show how archaeological and historical research is undertaken in an urban environment The exhibition, located in the main entrance hall of the Museum, will open on 1st September and run for about 3 months. |
