Weekend Fun: A Visit to Verulamium Museum
Wednesday 13 September 2023
Heritage Open Days - England's largest festival of history and culture continues this weekend and on Saturday you can visit Verulamium Museum in Saint Albans.
Built on the site of one of the largest Roman cities in Britain, Verulamium Museum is filled with ancient treasures and some of the finest mosaics outside of the Mediterranean. Entry to the museum this Saturday between 11am and 3.30pm is free, and you can explore the wonders of Roman life, immerse yourself in recreated Roman rooms and admire the craftsmanship of the intricate large-scale mosaics on display. There are also recent discoveries to see such as the Sandridge Hoard, a collection of 159 Roman gold coins.
After your visit to Verulamium Museum you can explore remains of the Roman town in Verulamium Park. Directly outside the museum you can visit the Roman Hypocaust, and if you venture a little further, you can see the Roman Theatre and city walls too.
