Jewry Wall Museum

Very good. Took my class of Year 3’s as a school trip and they really enjoyed it. It’s not massive so don’t plan to spend the day there but what there is is good.
The staff were really friendly, the toilets were clean. The only issue I can see is parking but they can’t do much about that.
Looking forward to going back with my family.

I stopped in here while looking for another museum… I am terrible with directions. The staff in here were really friendly. They invited me to have a look around and directed me to the Guild Hall Museum that I originally set out to see. Like, many museums in the UK, Jewry Wall is open to the public and free of charge. The day I visited there was some sort of sword fighting demonstration taking place outside.
I don’t think I managed to see all the museum has to offer as I think I missed most of the ruins outside the main building. This museum focuses on the local history of Leicester. It doesn’t take much time to go around and see everything — would recommend stopping by.

this site used to be roman baths and now is a lovely muesum although i have never entirely looked around the place.
i have and do however visit them in the summer holidays to attend there play days arts and craft days so much for young children goes on here it is worth ringing them if you have middle aged children because there is always something going on to entertain them.

Great museum, very near city centre. Loads of hisotrical facts and usually deserted as people tend to go to the city centre rather than seeing historic sites. Such a shame.

A great museum set in the grounds of a Roman bath site with a massive Roman wall. The displays cover prehistory, Roman, Saxon and Medieval Leicester. There are some great objects — the mosaics and wall paintings are unmissable, some of the best in the country.
It is free to get in (so good in the school holidays!) and they hold regular special events. There is a free brochure you can pick up that lets you know when the events are so that’s quite handy.
They also hold an enquiry service so if you dig up any archaeology in your back garden you can take it in and get it identified!
The staff are always polite and friendly and will go out of their way to answer any questions you have. It looks like it could do with a bit of a refurbishment, but I guess they need the council to give them some money — but the displays are really good despite this.
Toilets and museum are always clean and there is good disabled access (once you’ve gone all the way round the site and got in through the car park!)
