Wiltshire Museum, Archaeological museum in Devizes, Great Britain.
The Wiltshire Museum is an archaeological museum in Devizes with extensive Bronze Age collections, including gold artifacts and historical objects from the region. The displays span 6,000 years and trace the development of ancient societies systematically.
The museum was founded in 1874 by the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society and occupies a former school building. Over decades, important artifacts were acquired that shaped understanding of the region's prehistoric inhabitants.
The galleries display objects from the people who built Stonehenge and Avebury, with finds from these ancient sites. Visitors can observe how these communities lived and what they valued through their possessions.
The museum is located in Devizes town center and is easy to reach on foot. Plan at least two hours to see the main exhibitions properly.
The museum holds the Bush Barrow collection, discovered in 1808 near Stonehenge and returned in 1985 after extensive restoration at the British Museum. This return brought important treasures back to the local community.
