Museums don't know everything.
We asked people to write a brief label about this object: a memory, an interesting fact, something you notice, even a poem. Here is what they posted.

an axe can cut a tree.
yeah i suppose it did
Actually, these axes are very small. They were probably used by children, and it's unlikely either the axe or the child would be strong enough to fell a tree.

I'd label it
"Lizzie Borden's weapon of choice!"
I think it might not be a real ax. maybe a play one
It's really small. It makes me think of a mouse because of the size.
um it's pretty awesome but a little strange coming from the bronze age and all. it would have been very ugly and not that pretty

I think that that this bronze axe came from the same material as a penny. I noticed that the axe is not new, it is from a differient time period. I believe it is an origianal copy.
I think that the penny was the copper on the axe label. Sometimes it was used for cuting trees.They are similar to small tools.
what a great tool.......we could probaby use this today!!!
I think that it is a thing to open stuff with.
I think little kids used these to make wooden toys.

an arm with a thumb handle
this is an ancient axe head. it was found with out the wooden handle because it is so old it was probably eaten by termites about 1000 years ago.
The Science Museum helps kids and adults to learn more about the world we live in. You can learn about fossils to tornadoes, the brain to machinery. You can learn history and see cool new things, like the boat outside. There are experiments set up around the building with helpful people to assist you. The Science Museum rocks!!!
