The Roman Musuem

Hey guys, today I'm doing another museum blog. This time I went to the The Roman Musuem. Hope you enjoy the blog. See you!

     The Roman Museum  


We decided to go to this museum because we have been studying the Romans. We were staying with my Grandma and Grandpa in Canterbury, Kent, and we discovered a Roman museum tucked away in one of the little side streets that leads to the cathedral in Canterbury. After a heavy bombing in WW2 remains of a Roman town house were found and a museum was built around it.

(This is what happens when you tell a Roman that he is ugly!)

At the start of the museum we saw how Canterbury would have looked before the Roman invasion. The houses were simple round buildings made of mud and straw. We then we saw a picture map of how the Romans changed Canterbury significntly with their impressive arcitecture. After searching for more interesting things we found exhibitions on the everyday life for the Romans. They even had a fast food bar which sells oysters!

(But first, let me take a SELFIE!)

The Romans were great at crafts. Surprisingly they even made hairpins out of bones. 

(At least they're not made out of human bones........... I hope) 

The wealthy Romans had slaves to do the cleaning and different chores.

(This sucks!)

We thought that the museum was about to end but then we discovered the final exhibition, which was the BEST one. It was the impressive remains of a Roman town house that included an underground heating system and mosaics. The remains were once at ground level, but now hey are underground. This is because the ground level has risen over time as new building were constructed on rubble.

The mosaic found after bombing in WW2

I would recommend this museum because it was very small but very detailed which means you can take the information in. This museum gives lots of information about Roman life in Canterbury.
