The Canterbury Roman Museum is built around the preserved remains of a Roman townhouse, discovered during post-war reconstruction. Visitors descend to the Roman street level, where mosaics and underfloor heating systems are still visible. The museum showcases everyday Roman life through pottery, jewelry, and tools, as well as a reconstructed Roman kitchen. Interactive displays and a touchable mosaic make history accessible for all ages.
