Small but perfectly formed. Hadrians wall exhibition has a great selection of carved stones, especially the Mithras corner, and the nature of Northumberland exhibition was really charming.

Srivats Lakshman

It’s small, but a great insight into life during the Roman era. Other exhibits are equally interesting.

Alice Barton

Must visit. Amazing quality, especially since it's free. Latge section dedicated to hadrien's wall. ????

Alex Curiel

Very good museum located just north of the campus! Free entrance :)

Very small but great to see at least once. If you're interested in history it's your place.
