Identifications and Queries

 

Ask our helpful staff if you have questions about art, archaeology and history. If we cannot help you immediately we have an extensive network of experts to call on.

Staff at the Abbey Museum regularly undertake identifications and research artefacts and objets d'art for clients and visitors.

A donation fee to the Museum is requested for artefact identifications under half an hour. Identifications over half an hour are charged at $50 per hour. If staff are asked to undertake further research, a fee is negotiated. We regret that valuations for items are not permitted, as this contravenes UNESCO policy for museums.
We can help with questions about:

  • The Abbey Museum

  • The Abbey Medieval Festival

  • Archaeology - from Sir Flinders Petrie to modern excavation techniques

  • World history to AD 1800

  • Medieval history – from costumes and mask making to knights and castles.

  • Art history

  • Ideas for Keeping Places and small Museums

  • Asian arms and armour

  • Antiquities

If you have comments or a question, please email us the following information:

  • Your Name

  • Phone number and area code
