Fishbourne Roman Palace & Museum

Fishbourne Roman Palace was discovered by accident during the digging of a water main trench in 1960. The discovery led to nine seasons of excavations.

This story is told in an entertaining audio-visual programme and also in the site museum, with the addition of fascinating artefacts from the excavations along with plans, reconstruction drawings and models.

Here can be seen the largest collection of in-situ mosaics in Britain including the famous Cupid on a dolphin mosaic.
