Roman Museum, Roman history museum in Canterbury, England
The Canterbury Roman Museum spans three underground levels, displaying ancient artifacts, mosaics, and reconstructions of Roman daily life in Durovernum Cantiacorum.
The museum opened in 1961 after the discovery of Roman remains during World War II bombing raids, revealing a Roman townhouse with an intact mosaic pavement.
The museum exhibits original Roman sandals, pottery, tools, and household items that demonstrate the integration of Roman customs into ancient British society.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with adult tickets priced at £11.00 and special rates for children, seniors, and Canterbury residents.
The museum preserves one of Britain's few remaining in-situ Roman pavement mosaics, discovered beneath the modern street level of Canterbury.
