Join us at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where we will analyse Roman Britain.

Using our wide range of collections both real and replica, with a little help from some entertaining dressing up opportunities, we will discover what the life of an ordinary Roman Briton would have been like.

• Examining replica and original Roman artefacts to develop an understanding of what life was like over 1000 years ago.
• Discuss the impact of the Roman invasion of 43 AD and how ordinary people would have adapted to Roman life.

Important Information 

Parts of the tour will require movement and action. If your class has any access needs, please contact us in advance so steps can be taken to ensure everyone has the best experience.
