At our recent Open Day at the History Centre the Museums Advisory Service ran a mystery objects activity. We borrowed a selection of objects from museums across Wiltshire and challenged visitors to identify them and also to try and date them.

 
Mystery Object Number One

It was a popular activity so we thought we would give you another chance at identifying museum objects online. 'Read more' to have a look at the other two objects....

The 3 objects pictured here are all from museums in Wiltshire.

Can you work out what they are?

If you were one of the over 1100 people who came along to the Open Day you will have a bit of a head start, as you should recognise one of the objects.

There is no prize and it’s just for fun, but see if you can work out what these objects are and we’ll post your suggestions here.

 
Mystery Object Number Two

Mystery Object Number Three

If there are no right answers in a few weeks I’ll post up some clues to help you out.

Good luck!
