The centrepiece of the Food Museum exhibition will be a farm kitchen table with sound recordings, recipes, photos and items from the Museum’s collection.

The Museum is keen for the community to be involved in the exhibition by donating recipes, sharing stories and local words related to food to add to the exhibition - so if you have a spare minute on Tuesday or Wednesday, drop in and talk to them!

New project seeks help to unwrap Norfolk's past

Look at that, press fame!

Hungate Medieval Art in Norwich are calling for volunteers to help unwrap Norfolk's past through a new archive project with UEA researchers.

13/04/2022

Help solve a mystery! These 3 images were in with the Norfolk Archaeology journal printing plates we unwrapped and catalogued at the weekend, but unlike the others they weren't labelled, just wrapped together in a piece of paper saying 'H/T ARCHAEOLOGY'.

Does anyone recognise them - from a journal you've got at home, or from anywhere else? One looks like the lower walls of a stone building, one is a bone with a finds number on it (187?21 RCB 03), and one is a very mysterious object measured in quarter inches - the units at least giving us a likely latest date for the journal issue..

09/04/2022

Our Unwrapping Archaeology project begins today! If you're in the city centre, drop in to get your (safely gloved..) hands on some fascinating historical objects, and help us to conserve and record them!

05/04/2022

On the 9th and 10th of April, Hungate will be running our Unwrapping Archaeology project.

This is a free community archiving drop-in event in which we will be cataloguing and conserving printing blocks. These blocks have been used to print the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological Society's journal, and some have been around since the 19th century!

Anyone is welcome to drop in during our opening hours, so we hope to see you there!

01/04/2022

It's almost time! Tomorrow, Hungate is reopening with our new exhibition, What Lies Beneath. Come along any Saturday or Sunday to explore the archaeological excavations of Norwich's parish churches, and keep the whole family busy with our interactive sandpit. It's completely free, so we hope to see you there! Please check out our posters for more information.

Mira Calix, adventurous electronic musician and sound artist, dies

Shocked and saddened to hear of the unexpected death of Mira Calix, who made the site specific sound work 'Sihlabelela' for Hungate in 2019.

Producer released numerous albums of material and experimented with installations, sculptures and scores for Shakespeare plays

26/03/2022

Counting down 1 week until Hungate opens on 2nd April... There's only 1 way to find out what the Norwich Young Archaeologists' Club excavated in the garden - come and visit us! The exhibition also tells the stories of excavations in Norwich parish churches from the 19th century to the present.
