Early Middle Ages

The Slavs are a fascinating ethnic group. In the early Middle Ages, their settlement area also extended into our region - after severe archaeological reconstructions is therefore an early medieval Slawendorf in the history park to see.

Craft and making is at the heart of St Fagans and its collections. Our new galleries are filled with handmade objects - some over 200,000 years old. From the humblest bowl to the finest textiles – the urge to shape, make, mend and decorate and has always been with us.

Join us as we celebrate craft and creativity across the Museum this weekend.

Come to West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village and discover the story of Beowulf and Grendel.
Meet a costumed interpreter for ‘Tales in the Hall’ and hear how legendary hero Beowulf slew Grendel.

Climb in your time machine, sharpen your eyes, turn your arm into steel, pack a bag of good mood and join us at the Steinzeitpark Dithmarschen in Albersdorf, Germany

As usual, animals and ferrytale creatures from the European forests await you as targets. Of course, also Wernes wild Wisent needs to be shot at!

We are delighted to announce that the Institut Català de Paleocologia Humana i Evolució Social (IPHES), the Institut Català d’Arqueologia Clàssica (ICAC), the Institut Català de Recerca en Patrimoni Cultural (ICRPC) and the EXPERIMENTA Association will organize the V International Congress of Experimental Archaeology in Tarragona on 25, 26 and 27 October 2017.
