Verulamium Museum

Museum was closed as it was being used as a polling center. Council should have advertised this (especially before people pay to park!!!)

A great little museum

An interesting and well laid out local museum with paid-for parking directly outside. We came in the Spring holidays and although there were interactive displays set up manned by assistants for the children to engage with, getting the assistants to show what they had set up was hard work!

Adults are now 8 (but only 6 if you book it online on their website) as a history buff, this really was a museum Ive been looking forward to. They have displays of original artifacts ,skeletons, and some of the most stunning original mosaics in Europe. Its extremely detailed, educational, and fabulously catalogued; including drawers, that you can personally roll out and see things that are not set up on the countertop. The videos are informative and I learn things that I didnt already know; which is awesome. I actually learned a lot in there. What I was looking forward to seeing is the fashion of the women; the statues ,the art , the clay. I really appreciated seeing a lot of things like fabrics pins and needles and brooches and jewelry. One of my favorite parts is the coin collection! Its very impressive and well presented. The wall art that the ancients did were impressive with aesthetics . The lead coffin , is one of the finest specimens of its kind in the world. Some truly original stuff to see here that you will never see in the rest of the world.! And BTW, its an award winning museum. In a beautiful surroundings of flowering trees, gardens, and a gorgeous ancient park land.

Firstly, the girl at the desk charged me full price even though I said I was a resident, she said I didnt apply to me even though my village and street is written about multiple times in the actual museum! I literally live on Watling street itself so unless you live around the museum car park itself, what else can be considered local? There is an abundance of artefacts and impressive, plaster work and carvings but its also quite a dated museum. The history however is fascinating.
