Europe AD 1000-1500 (Room 40)

Opening in March 2009

Stretching from around the eleventh century to the period of Renaissance and Reformation in the sixteenth century, the late Medieval period (also known as the late Middle Ages) was a time of notable human achievement in Western Europe and the Byzantine world of Eastern Europe. This included the formation of new nations, expansion of trade, creation of magnificent churches and new developments in philosophy and theology.

The forthcoming gallery, due to open in 2009, will include examples of Byzantine art, Romanesque and Gothic metalwork and ivory, as well as coinage, jewellery, arms and armour, leather work, tiles, scientific instruments and prints.
