Secrets of Stonehenge

Uncover the ancient mysteries and modern discoveries of Stonehenge


How did 25 tonnes of towering stones end up in a field in Wiltshire, England? What purpose did this awe-inspiring monument serve for an ancient civilisation? Why do some consider this monument to be magical or sacred?

Unlock the answers to the mysteries surrounding the UNESCO World Heritage Site at this brand-new international exhibition, arriving exclusively to Auckland Museum on Friday 3 December. Tickets on sale Monday 8 November.

The exhibition delves into the science, history and mythology of Stonehenge - discover the secrets of what it meant to the people who built it, and what it means to the world today.
