Excavations at St Albans Abbey revealed that Abbot Roger de Norton was buried in 1291 with his heart in a case inscribed with Islamic text.
This multi-sensory exhibition explored the many connections (surprising and every day) between St Albans and the Islamic World - from scientific discoveries to a fondness for coffee.
Objects on display included loans from the British Museum, the Whipple Museum of the History of Science, as well as items loaned from members of our community groups, who also contributed knowledge and insights into the history of these objects.
