| Information | |
The Verulamium Museum is situated in what was once the forum of the walled city of Verulamium,[1] next to Verulamium Park.
The museum contains information about the Iron Age and Roman periods of St Albans' history. The later history of the settlement is presented at the St Albans Museum + Gallery.
The Verulamium Museum was established following the excavations carried out by Mortimer Wheeler and his wife, Tessa Wheeler, both of them renowned archaeologists, during the 1930s. It was extended in 1996–97. During the building work, an excavation of the site took place.
