Our new exhibition about ancient DNA, We Go Way Back, is now open.
As well as our exhibition and cafe, you can also join us at free events related to the exhibition in the coming months.
On 9 September, renowned classicist Mary Beard will host a panel of speakers to discuss how ancient DNA is reshaping our understanding of the Roman era.
Joining Mary Beard will be archaeologist Hella Eckardt, Professor of Global History Peter Frankopan, and postdoctoral fellow in our own Ancient Genomics Lab Marina Soares Da Silva.
Check the 'We Go Way Back' link in our bio for more information.
