La Hougue Bie Museum

La Hougue Bie is ‘one of the ten oldest buildings in the world’ – a stunning dolmen beneath a 12-meter-high mound. Besides the impressive monument itself, the site includes a Neolithic long house reconstructed according to experimental archaeological techniques and opportunities for children to try out stone age technology. The education service is very well supported by the Jersey government, with staff numbers quadrupling since the last time this site was assessed. Free visits and outreach services are taken up by all Jersey schools, and the island’s heritage is well integrated within the curriculum. This is a rare example of how heritage should be valued and funded.
