Stonehenge, the famous prehistoric stone circle in southwest England, is now understood more comprehensively than ever before, thanks to new archaeological and scientific findings. Modern excavations and analyses show that its builders – early farmers 5,000 years ago – were part of an exciting and complex cultural landscape. The development of Stonehenge spanned centuries and culminated around 2500 BC in the monumental form that continues to fascinate us today. The international exhibition “STONEHENGE. Ancient Secrets, New Discoveries” presents these research findings through around 600 original objects, replicas, and immersive media installations. After successful stops in North America, it will be completely revised and shown for the first time in Central Europe at the Bavarian State Archaeological Collection from September 2026 to August 2027.

Accompanying programme available soon.

Duration: 18th september 2026 to 29th august 2027.
