What visitors say
Very interesting to see the artifacts in the Roman museum here in the Alcester library. It's free entry and has a very knowledgeable and friendly volunteer on hand to answer any questions you might have. It never ceases to amaze me how the Romans first conquered, and then brought their culture and society to such a vast area of Europe over 2000 years ago.

A perfect little museum covering the Roman period of history in this gorgeous town. A volunteer is on hand to share their enthusiasm and knowledge. Some of the coins discovered and on display are in excellent condition. Activity tasks for children help engage all ages.

Great little museum in a lovely town. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great for kids on a rainy day as it is part of the local library.

A little bit smaller than I expected ( one room ) but full of interesting artifacts and information on the roman era. Dog are not allowed, I only add this information as i couldn't find if they where allowed on the internet anywhere and took my dog with me. Super friendly staff a must for any history fans.
