The Collection Museum
The Collection
Lincolnshire's archaeology and history museum, with finds from the Stone Age through Roman Lincoln to the Saxon and Viking periods.
The Collection, also known today as the Lincoln Museum, is Lincolnshire's archaeology museum. Its new building opened in 2005. The displays range from prehistoric flint and Bronze Age objects, through Roman Lincoln's gravestones, mosaics and everyday objects, to Anglo-Saxon and Viking finds. It helps you understand two thousand years of the city's history. The permanent exhibition is free (check the official website). It shares an organisation with the neighbouring Usher Gallery and is at Danesgate, southeast of the cathedral, about 5 minutes' downhill walk.
