Diadems are Forever

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Crowdfunding Campaign. Everyone who donated will get something back: those who donated £25 will be invited to a private view of the diadem and a talk by a Bronze Age expert from the British Museum, while donators of £100 will receive an exclusive invitation to the newly-redeveloped Museum when it opens in 2019. Councillor Susan Sullivan, Cabinet Member for Chelmsford Museum, said, “As soon as Chelmsford Museum heard about the diadem, we knew that it absolutely had to be acquired for public display. Such an incredible piece, steeped in history and of incredible importance in understanding our area during the Bronze Age, could not be allowed to disappear into a private collection.” This wouldn't have been possible without you - so thanks again.

SO CLOSE! Thanks to you, Chelmsford Museums has raised over 90% of its crowding target. We are just £420 away from saving the oldest piece of gold in Essex. Please help us by sharing the campaign one last time, to ensure this incredible treasure goes on display in the newly refurbished museum for everyone to enjoy. https://www.spacehive.com/essexgold
