Some very interesting artefacts in this museum, especially those of the Iceni. Great place for children and adults, couples or family's to while away an educational hour. more »

The perfect museum for visitors with children. Not too big to get bored and plenty of hands on experience. Covers Roman and Saxon periods very well. Staff friendly and helpful. more »

An excellent repository of Roman remains found in the town. The prettiest bits are the mosaics in the front entrance, but if you're into Roman history, the pottery and tombstones found deeper in the museum are good to visit. They have some kids things to do here, but I wouldn't bring a child that was particularly antsy.

Had a great time at the museum with my 7 year old. Kept his attention for the couple of hours we were there. Mosaics on show probably can't be beat anywhere and all very well laid out. Learned lots about the town also.

Really interesting museum about Roman life and culture in and around Cirencester. The museum is much larger than it appears from the outside so was pleasantly surprised at the value for money. The Roman townhouse garden was a lovely touch as well as all the local mosaics.
