Discover one of Britain’s greatest archaeological stories through an extraordinary blend of history and cutting-edge technology. The Mildenhall Treasure Mixed Reality Exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the excitement of uncovering one of the most important Roman discoveries ever made in Britain.
The Mildenhall Treasure was discovered in a Suffolk field in 1942 and consists of 34 magnificent pieces of late Roman silver tableware dating from the 4th century AD. Using mixed reality headsets, visitors step into a digitally recreated version of the original discovery site. Rather than viewing artefacts behind glass, you are invited to view the landscape, uncover exquisitely detailed 3D model replicas of the Roman silver from the ground, and examine each object as if you were the person who first discovered the hoard.
Developed by Xibitr, digital heritage Mixed Reality specialists in partnership with Mildenhall Museum, the exhibition combines archaeology, innovation and storytelling to create an accessible experience for visitors of all ages.
