Jewry Wall Museum, Archaeological museum in Leicester, England
The Jewry Wall Museum stands beside a massive Roman wall stretching over 9 meters high, displaying archaeological findings from Leicester's ancient past.
Established in 1966, the museum preserves remains of a Roman bath complex constructed around 160 CE during the period of Ratae Corieltauvorum settlement.
The museum collections present artifacts revealing the daily activities of Leicester inhabitants through different time periods, from Roman occupation to medieval development.
Located at St Nicholas Circle, the museum remains temporarily closed for renovations, with the Roman wall visible from the public footpath.
The Jewry Wall represents one of the largest remaining sections of Roman masonry in Britain, incorporating original architectural elements from second-century public baths.
