A combination of an exposed excavation, with preserved elements, as well as some rebuilding. I have seen a similar thing in Chester, England, but think this works much better. |
There were lots of information panels, as well as spotlights you could press to highlight a particular area. |
Spotlight action. |
View of a section. |
More spotlight action! |
They also had a lot of artefacts on display throughout the building. |
I love domestic objects like these! |
Sarah and I really liked this feature in the museum. The front of the cabinet showed the different layers, and the drawers showed what finds were found in each layer. |
They were artistically arranged, which was interesting too! |
This was a great last stop in our Historic St Mary's City tour! |
I like domestic objects also. This is beautifully arranged, a sort of meticulous care which reflects good things. Wish I could have been with you!
ReplyDeleteYay! It's so great to see your post on this. That drawer/layer thing was absolutely brilliant! So glad I was able to share that with you!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fascinating! The Roman villa in Chichester is presented in a similar way.
