Corinium Museum
Museum in Gloucestershire, England
Location within Gloucestershire
The Corinium Museum, in the Cotswold town of Cirencester in England, has a large collection of objects found in and around the locality. The bulk of the exhibits are from the Roman town of Corinium Dobunnorum,[1] but the museum includes material from as early as the Neolithic and all the way up to Victorian times.[2]
Opened on 26 November 1974 by the Duke of Gloucester,[3] the museum has a collection of 2nd- and 4th-century Roman mosaic floors and carvings, as well other Roman objects, large and small. Additionally there are displays covering prehistory, the Iron Age, Saxon and medieval Cirencester and the wool trade.[3]
The building, which was built in the mid 18th century, was previously a house. It is a Grade II listed building[4]
