Dark Ages? Jewelry from the Visigoth, Ostrogoth and Frankish Kingdoms

Sam Fogg, London, England

5 June - 4 July 2025

Dark Ages? invites you to reconsider the narrative of decline often associated with the 5th to 7th centuries. Featuring intricately crafted belt buckles and brooches from the Visigothic, Merovingian, and Ostrogothic Kingdoms, the exhibition reveals a world rich in artistry and cultural vitality. Adorned with red garnets, vibrant glass inlays, and sumptuous gilding, these ornate objects challenge the notion of a cultural void and instead showcase an era of remarkable craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication.
