A new show at the British Museum will aim to challenge preconceptions about the culture of the Celts.
The exhibition, Celts: art and identity, is described as the first of its kind in Britain for 40 years. It opens in London in September and moves to the National Museum Scotland in Edinburgh next year.
The name Celts fell out of use for around 1,000 years after the Roman period, but it was rediscovered during the Renaissance.
