Welcome
The award winning Corinium Museum is the must-see visitor attraction of the Cotswolds. Our collection consists of the highly significant finds from the Roman town of Corinium. However, the museum today is much more than that, taking the visitor on a journey through time and charting the development of the Cotswolds from its prehistoric landscape to the modern day.
The Museum is based on two floors with lift access. Volunteer gallery stewards are on hand to answer any questions and we encourage all visitors to touch exhibits, some of the interactives have Braille interpretation. The adjoining café and shop are situated on the ground floor with step free access.
