The Corinium Museum in the Cotswold town of Cirencester in Gloucestershire is contained in a complex of older buildings clustered on Park Street in the heart of the town.

The museum 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, but the museum includes material from as early as the Neolithic and all the way up to the Victorian era.

The museum has a collection of 2nd- and 4th-century Roman mosaic floors and carvings, as well other Roman objects, large and small.
