This was our first visit to the lovely market town of Market Harborough and we booked a visit online through the museum’s website. Because of covid, we had a timed slot and were the only visitors in the space. The artefacts from the Iron Age and Roman periods are wonderful as is the accompanying video which explains how local people discovered the treasure.

We were looking for something to do one morning and wandered in this little museum by the library. It does not have many displays but the treasure they have displayed from the countryside was fascinating. I usually just browse displays at museums but I found myself reading every display relating to the treasure. The Roman helmet is really amazing. There were some intense displays of some English life through the ages in the back and there were a lot of Interesting household wares.
