Crossrail’s ‘Bison to Bedlam’ archaeology exhibition now open
Crossrail’s archaeology exhibition has opened, offering a glimpse into London’s history. Almost 100 key discoveries including 55 million-year-old amber, a skeleton from Bethlehem Hospital burial ground and part of a pre-historic mammoth jaw are on display.
The exhibition is being held at Crossrail’s Visitor Information Centre at Tottenham Court Road from 2 October to 27 October on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11am to 7pm and Saturdays from 10am to 5pm. Crossrail’s Tottenham Court Road Visitor Information Centre is located at 16-18 St Giles High Street, WC2H 8LN (behind Centre Point, opposite Denmark Street).
Crossrail’s lead archaeologist Jay Carver will also host an online Twitter Q&A event (#BisontoBedlam) on Tuesday 9 October between 2pm and 9pm to answer questions on Crossrail’s archaeology programme and the finds displayed at the exhibition.
A series of 25 minute seminars will take place on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7pm. Places will be available on a first come, first served basis.
The seminar topics are as follows:
Wednesday, 3 October
Crossrail's ambitious archaeology programme

Discovering a Tudor manor house at Stepney Green
Wednesday, 24 October

Exhibition attendees will also have the chance to win an exciting archaeology themed prize donated by Systra.

Think I might try to drop by tomorrow, I'm headed that way after work.
