Repair and Care: The Norman Chapel Project will feature newly excavated finds from the Norman Chapel works, including a medieval die and gaming pieces, interviews with staff who work tirelessly to preserve the Castle, and multiple interactive activities. There will be fun for the whole family!
The exhibition is the result of months of work by MA Museum and Artefact Studies students from the University of Durham. Repair and Care: The Norman Chapel Project will be open from the 24th May 2024, and will be accessible through Durham Castle tours.
Also watch out for our special curator led tours and Durham Castle open days over the summer!
