Welcome
Built over the remains of a Roman bath house, The Novium Museum is Chichester District's award-winning museum located in the heart of Chichester City Centre.
Set over 3 floors, our exhibitions tell the story of Chichester District over the past 500,000 years from our ground floor Roman Gallery, centred around the breathtaking archaeological remains of the Roman bath house, to an exciting range of touring and temporary exhibitions on our top floor.
Chichester Tourist Information Centre is based within the Novium Museum, and our qualified Front of House staff can offer visitors and local residents accomodation bookings, ticket sales, information on the local area.
