This museum showcases the history of the Roman occupation of Britain, with a collection of artifacts and relics unearthed from the nearby Roman fort of Corbridge. The exhibits include Roman coins, jewelry, pottery, and sculptures, as well as mosaics and artifacts from the fort's bathhouse. Interactive displays and reconstructions of Roman buildings provide insight into daily life in Roman Britain.
What a great Roman museum, if you're interested in Roman artefacts, then you will enjoy this, they have 'The Corbridge Hoard' on display, one of the most influential Roman 'Time Capsules' ever discovered in Hadrian's Wall Country. Also they have 3 dodecahedra on display, where only 120 dodecahedra have been found in the whole of the Roman Empire, and still nobody knows what they are for. Also a replica of the Corbridge 'Lanx' made of 10 lbs of silver, the original is on display in the British Museum. We have been to a lot of places in Rome, but we were very impressed with what they had on display. Also being English Heritage it's Free for members. (fee otherwise, but still well worth it) You also get an audio tour for the site outside, which was absolutely amazing as well.
Our visit to the Corbridge roman museum was a very pleasant and interesting experience. The staff was kind and helpful, and the exhibit was not too large and boasted rather detailed descriptions. Because of the smaller size of the museum itself, we were able to properly enjoy the displayed items. Our dog was allowed in both the museum and the remains of the town, which was a huge plus. Overall, we would recommend this museum to anyone with an interest for history.
Very interesting place. Not part of Hadrian's Wall but the most northerly town in the Roman Empire. Has a small but interesting museum to walk through before entrance to the ruins. A self guided audio tour is included with the admission. Coffee is available in the gift shop area. Toilet was spotlessly clean. Parking plenty full but we were there early morning, on a weekday. Overall worth it. Takes a couple of hours.
Really enjoyed this place, nice little museum, really helpful staff and nice remains to explore. Dogs are also made very welcome. Tea and coffee, toilets and parking.
Wonderful site with some really unusual features. In a lovely setting with a modern village to explore nearby too. The museum is small but very well equipped. Not just the lovely items but a clever use of traditional curation, digital media and 3d printing. Very friendly and helpful staff and a most excellent Roman mug. Bit easily impressed but here I was. Will be back. Don't hesitate, go.
Very interesting with lots of Roman artefacts. Good audio tour and quite impressive roman remains with buildings and the main road running through the town. As per usual with English Heritage, lovely helpful staff
