Canterbury Roman Museum

With an impressive pillared entrance at Butchery Lane, very close to Canterbury Cathedral, The Roman Museum is underground at the level of the Roman town. It's an exciting mix of excavated real objects: authentic reconstructions; and preserved remains of a Roman town house with its famous mosaics.

Reconstructions include a Roman market place, with a shoemaker, fabric seller and fruit and vegetable stall. There is also part of a house with its kitchen set out in authentic detail.

There is also a test your skills touch screen computer game on Roman technology; and at the end of the museum is the acclaimed "touch the past" area where the visitor can handle real Roman artefacts and follow the archaeologist's skills of deduction.
