Finds from recent excavations are on show together with magnificent Mediaeval art from the Museum’s Burrell collection. Also learn the difference between Mediaeval and Chinese dragons and find out what the Middle Ages have done for us today.
	Window on Berwick Take a walk around the ramparts of the old historic town of Berwick, looking and listening to the sights and sounds of the past. See the salmon fishermen at work, peer in a farm workers cottage and down a gloomy coal-mine. Pop into the tavern for a moment or visit a laundry. Look into the shop windows and have a go at being a cashier. Become the lighthouse keeper and take a peek at Dr Johnston’s cabinet of curiosities.
