@EleanorThomas17@YorkshireMuseum Hi! The Melsonby Hoard is classed as Treasure under English law, which means that local museums (in this case the Yorkshire Museum) have the first right to try to acquire it, but only if we can pay the market value. We are fundraising to reach this value. https://t.co/foh6FUkYrJ
