Alexander Keiller Museum and Avebury Manor

The Avebury Stone Circles are put into context at the museum, an English Heritage attraction, where Neolithic and Bronze Age artifacts from the site make up one of the country's most important prehistoric archaeological collections. Charts, photos, and models relating to the excavation of Avebury by the archaeologist Alexander Keiller in the 1930s are also on display. Exhibits are divided between the 17th-century Stables Gallery, which contains stone axes, flint tools, pottery shards, and other finds from Keiller's excavations, and an activity area where kids can dress up in Bronze Age clothes. (At this writing, the Barn Gallery is closed.) You can also visit the gardens of Avebury Manor (a National Trust property; house closed at this writing) where Keiller lived.
