>Maybe the hoard will be traveling the USA and visit Dallas. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Upon reading the article, only Washington DC will have this exhibition at this time:

>>>Susan Norton, director of the National Geographic Museum, said: "We are thrilled to be the only
>>>U.S. venue for this exhibition. National Geographic has been a window on the world since 1888, 
>>>and bringing 'Anglo-Saxon Hoard' to our museum in Washington D.C. offers us the opportunity 
>>>to showcase this incredible find and emphasise the importance of continued exploration. There
>>>are wonders to be found both in remote territories and our own backyards."

But for us poor souls who can't go to DC sometime between from October 29, 2011 to March 4, 2012, there is this sop:

>>>In addition to the museum exhibition, National Geographic will feature the hoard and its
>>>discovery in a new book, 'Lost Gold: War, Treasure, and the Mystery of the Saxons', in a 
>>>November television special for the National Geographic Channel and in the November issue
>>>of National Geographic Magazine.
