We’re thrilled to be hosting one of the sculptures from the York Ice Trail this year! It will be based on the 13cm bust of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius which is part of the Ryedale Hoard, one of our most significant acquisitions in recent years. The objects were found by metal detectorists James Spark and Mark Didlick in a field in Ryedale, North Yorkshire, in May 2020.

Don’t miss out on seeing the sculpture this weekend outside the museum, then come on inside to see the real thing!
