DIG - An Archaeological Adventure

What will you find?

At DIG, you get to discover only the most exciting archaeological artefacts from 2000 years of history hidden under the streets of York. Our four excavation pits are filled with Roman, Viking, medieval and Victorian finds, so you can grab a trowel and dig up the clues that show how people lived in the past.

Visitors examine real archaeological finds and work out what they were used for. Look out for the 2000-year-old skulls and the Viking-Age poo!

Our three discovery rooms offer the chance to try out archaeological techniques. The science lab, library and field tent are all manned with our holographic guides, who will help you out with the different activities. At the end of your experience, the story of York and your discoveries are brought together in our 3D cinema - York Revealed.
