Crosby Garrett Helmet sold to anonymous buyer


Bookmark and Share


Tullie House lost its bid for the Crosby Garrett Helmet at Christie's this week.

The helmet was sold to an anonymous buyer for £2m. The helmet is set to stay in the UK so there may be a chance if the buyer comes forward for Tullie House to make a case for displaying it at the museum.

It is such a shame as the spiritedness of the general public saw £50,000 raised which was matched £1 for £1 by an anonymous benefactor.
