Our Job As Museum Curators...

....was so tiring! 

We had to make sure our museum was very creative, educational, authentic-looking and interesting. We decided to replicate lots of Celtic artefacts, like shields, swords, torcs, broaches and helmets, as well as making roundhouses to put in the settlement we made. 

There are all kinds of tools and materials that you can use to create these things. We used clay and cardboard for most, moulding, shaping, manipulating and cutting until we were happy that our relic resembled our plan. 





We used paint, glue and glitter to decorate our torcs and broaches so that they looked really ornate. 

We added detail to our swords and shields using card, string and polystyrene balls. 

Did you know that the handle of a sword is actually called a hilt? We do now!
