Ranging in date from 4500BC to AD1500, the objects described here include the Museum's significent collections of Bronze Age gold, Early Christian jewellery and altar vessels, culminating in church treasures of the later Middle Ages.  The illustrated objects are fully captioned and are accompanied by the explanatory essays covering each major period, written by members of the Museum's staff.
