Verulamium Museum

I found Verulamium Museum to be rather delightful! The architecture of the museum is intricately beautiful. Me and my friend at the time paid a small fee of about £3:50 at the time, in 2012. We were introduced to Roman History and how they lived etc.
We were fornate to go on a day when a guy was acting as a Roman solider and was showing us a group of parents and children his outfit and armour. He really made it fun especially for kids.
Because it is a small museum, you pretty much seen everything so I don’t feel I need to return but it was a pleasent visit.

Situated next to a great park, this is a lovely little museum. It’s full of interesting Roman artifacts, with a range of video clips, things to touch and hear, children wouldn’t be bored.
It only takes about an hour to an hour and half to get round, depending if you watch the clips etc and costs £3.80 per adult.

St. Albans was once the city of Verulamiam. This Roman town was destroyed in AD61 and later rebuilt to its former glory. After nearly 400 years as a major settlement, the town slowly declined when the Romans left in AD410.
The Verulamiam Museum tells the story of this Roman town. Mosaics, video presentations, excavated artifacts and recreation of Roman rooms fill this little musuem. Wandering around the rooms I learned how the ancient town was built, how jewelry was made, how the inhabitants of the city made a living and also how their dead were buried. The museum boasts four skeletons, which really impressed me and my morbid love of skulls and bones.
There is a small fee of £3.50 for entry to the museum. The rooms are small, but they are full of interesting facts. It’s easy to become completely engrossed in another time for an hour or two.
The museum is on the edge of a lovely park that is home to the Roman Theatre of Verulamium and also a Roman mosaic. There are ponds, a small church and a cute little café. If you find yourself in St. Albans, this is a must-​see!

As a teacher, I have taken many a class on a field trip here.
The museum is located in verulamium park. It has lots of mosaics and roman artefacts to see. There is lots of hands on stuff. Slide open the drawers under the exhibits to see more.
The gift shop is wonderful with a good price range.
In the park in the old roman wall and the hypocaust building. The hypocause is fabulous, you can see how the underground heating worked.
There is also inn on the park for a bite to eat.

I didn’t know quite to expect when I went to this museum, but was really pleasently surprised.
The mosaics are stunning throughout and really bring the history alive as the sheer size of them conjures up images of just how grand it must have been.
The different galleries are interesting and the children were entertained by all the different exhibits, especailly the skeletons and descriptions of life as a roman and the excavation of a lot of the finds in the museum.

St Alban’s is one of England’s oldest towns. There has been a settlement here since the 1^st Century BC, and in AD 43 the Romans chose the site for their city of Verulamium, which became the Capital of the Roman province of Brittania.
This history is portayed in the Verulamium museum, located next to an attractive park ten minutes’ walk from the Abbey. The museum itself is housed in a distinctive red-​brick building, built in the Roman style.
Inside, the history of the Romans in Britain is portrayed in a very accessible series of exhibits. Children are well-​catered for, with video and touch screen installations, and hands-​on discovery areas. More traditional finds include fine mosaics and frescoes — some of the best outside the Mediterranean — as well as rare armour, glassware, jewellery and more everyday items.
