Brief display

[edit]

72.77.42.118 (talk · contribs) - RE: your block removal of text regarding the public display of this hoard, which I have undone see here. I will update the now out-of-date dating for the October dates, but the important point here is that this is the first time is has been on public display. I refute the idea that a short display is not relevant to the 2,000 year old history of the objects because they have only been known to the modern world for a very short time. Equally, tracking the public display of archaeological materials in Wikipedia pages is a useful way of futureproofing where and when they have been as well as public reception of their display. It's referenced in a suitable secondary source so should be included. It's a well-established feature of many articles, see: Coppergate Helmet#Public Display, Sutton Hoo helmet, Head of Constantine the Great, York#Public display, Shrewsbury Hoard#Display etc. It hasn't been placed on public display at the Yorkshire Museum yet despite their acquisition of it, so public display elsewhere is relevant.
