About this event

Curious to discover what archaeologists do, where they work and what they find? Join local Inner West archaeologists in an exploratory display of artefacts including those from the recent excavation of Fenwick’s building in Balmain and the old Marrickville Hospital site.

There is also the opportunity to handle and interrogate some of the artefacts and celebrate National Archaeology Week.
