Dorset Museum's bid to buy treasure
Dorset Museum and Art Gallery wants to buy a group of 40 coins dating from 2nd Century BC, as well as a Bronze Age axe head, bangle and sword. The items were found in Dorset (near Blandford and Sturminster Newton, respectively), and have an estimated worth of over £32,000.
The museum has so far raised £17,757 through donations and various grants, though still requiring over £14,000 to successfully return them to the county.
Steve Harris spoke to Elizabeth Selby, Director of Collections and Public Engagement, and Ciorstaidh Hayward-Trevarthen, Dorset Council Finds Liason Officer.
