Visit 2022’s ‘The World of Stonehenge’ exhibition virtually…

Back in 2022, a selection of the Ness of Brodgar’s finest artefacts featured in a major exhibition at the British Museum.

A virtual, online version of The World of Stonehenge, which brought the story of the iconic monument into sharper focus – placing it in the wider context of prehistoric Britain, Ireland and Europe, is now available to explore at https://www.cloudtour.tv/the-world-of-stonehenge/

Among the Ness finds in London for the exhibition were the “Butterfly Stone” found at Structure Twelve’s northern entrance in 2013; the carved stone ball found in Structure Ten in 2013; and the spectacular polished stone axe recovered from Structure Fourteen in 2012.

As well as artefacts from Skara Brae, the exhibition also saw the “Brodgar Stone” – a decorated slab found at the Ness in 1925 and now housed at the National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh – reunited with other artefacts from the site and on display.
