#DYK that in the 1950s steel rods were inserted into one of the upright sarsen stones at Stonehenge to prevent it from breaking? 🩹 One of the extracted stone cores can be found in two pieces at The Salisbury Museum 👀





We are excited to be partnering with Stonehenge and Ken Follett to reveal the cover of his new book CIRCLE OF DAYS This epic historical novel imagines the human story behind the building of Stonehenge and will be published in September this year #CircleOfDays



Just look at these fantastic star trails photographed by Josh Dury B.A FRAS 🌌 😍 If you could sum up this image in one word, what word would you use? ✨



Some Victorian microscope slides in Wiltshire Museum have recently been used as part of a project to identify the origins of the stones at Stonehenge 🗺️ Made for William Cunnington III between 1876 and 1881, these slides contain geological thin sections of the stones.







This model in The Salisbury Museum was produced by William Osmond (1791-1875) based on plans drawn by William Stukeley. William Stukeley surveyed Stonehenge during the 18th century. He concluded that it was a Druid monument rather than Roman or Danish as others had suggested. 🔎
