Visit … High Street Londinium

Until Sunday 28 January 2001

High Street Londinium is an exhibition that uniquely combines the skills of the archaeologist, the historian and the craftworker. Its purpose is not only to entertain but also to contribute - through painstaking reconstruction - to knowledge about Romano-British buildings and living conditions.

The starting point was a dig by the Museum's Archaeology Service at 1 Poultry in 1994-6, where a city very different from traditional images of Roman life was revealed. Instead of great stone buildings, temples, bath houses and mosaics, most buildings were made of timber and mudbrick, and people would have struggled to make a living in precarious circumstances.

Besides visiting the exhibition, we hope that you will read some of the accompanying books, and come to some of the associated events.
