The ARC is the perfect place to visit if you are looking for a really unusual way to discover the history of the City of York and the secrets of uncovering the past - literally!

Housed in the fifteenth century church of St. Saviour, this handson archaeology centre gives visitors a fascinating insight into the lives of some of York's past residents, and the opportunity to handle the genuine 1,000 or even 2,000 year-old items they left behind. You can also explore the interactive Sensory Garden.

The ARC is Jorvik's sister attraction, and is run by York Archaeological Trust.
