Canterbury Roman Museum Overview

The only Roman museum in Kent is the Canterbury Roman Museum, which offers a family-friendly and engaging glimpse of life in Roman Britain. So step back and go down to the Roman Canterbury Streets to learn more about Canterbury's history, visit the marketplace, and look for hidden treasures. This is one of the few remaining UK situ Roman pavement mosaics.

Visitors interested in learning about the Roman era in Britain must visit the Canterbury Roman Museum, developed around the ruins of an old Roman townhouse. The museum has notable Roman artefacts, including a considerable amount of silver, in contrast to a magnificent 2,000-year-old mosaic pavement found after the city was bombed in World War 2. 

It also consists of a fascinating interactive timeline that illustrates the journey from today’s Canterbury to the initial Roman settlement. En route, the tourists will visit an exact duplicate of a Roman marketplace, use a Roman dining room's imitation dinnerware, and discover the history behind the town's building. 

This is one of the best places to visit in canterbury for a family outing as it has various activities, including suiting up being a roman soldier or trying toga, creating a mosaic, and handling natural objects from Roman times.
