Canterbury Roman Museum

« Previous Next »

Walk back through time to discover Canterbury's hidden Roman history.

The Roman Museum is underground at the level of the Roman town. It's an exciting mix of excavated real objects: authentic reconstructions; and preserved remains of a Roman town house with its famous mosaics. Reconstructions include a Roman market place, with a shoe maker, fabric seller and fruit and vegetable stall. There is also part of a house with its kitchen set out in authentic detail. There is also a test your skills touch screen computer game on Roman technology; and at the end of the museum is the acclaimed "touch the past" area where the visitor can handle real Roman artefacts and follow the archaeologist's skills of deduction.
