Unearth the remarkable stories behind the stars of the city’s collection in the museum's archaeology gallery.
In Beneath Your Feet you can dig deep into 50,000 years of Sheffield history through over 500 objects. You’ll discover fearsome Anglo-Saxon weapons and hidden Roman treasure, and find out more about the incredible archaeological finds made in the region through a series of films and interactives.
Younger visitors can imagine life in the past in our replica Iron Age roundhouse, complete with real thatched roof, and try out our range of dressing up costumes.
Suggested donation £5 – Please donate if you're able and help keep your museums open and available for everyone to enjoy.
Beneath Your Feet has been supported by a major grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
