A Snapshot Of Everyday Life in ‘Britain’s Pompei’

A new exhibition – ​Introducing Must Farm, a Bronze Age Settlement – will open at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery later this month.

The exhibition opens on April 27, following the eagerly anticipated release of a new publication by the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, which tells the remarkable story of the Must Farm pile-dwelling settlement in Whittlesey.

The exhibition, funded by both Historic England and Peterborough Museum, focuses on an introduction to the story of this significant Bronze Age site, dubbed “Britain’s Pompei”, which gives an extraordinary insight into everyday life almost 3,000 years ago.

The Must Farm settlement is a truly fascinating discovery, with the site only being occupied for less than a year before it was destroyed by a catastrophic fire.

Peterborough Museum is open Tuesday – Saturday, 10am – 4pm.
