Jewry Wall A Real Roman Experience

Discover a real Roman experience at Jewry Wall : Leicester’s exciting new visitor attraction

 

Leicester’s rich Roman heritage is about to come alive like never before as Jewry Wall reopens its doors! Following an extensive refurbishment, the museum will unveil an immersive, state-of-the-art exhibition that takes visitors on a journey through Roman Leicester, offering a unique blend of history, objects, storytelling, and interactive experiences.

 

Jewry Wall is part of a 2nd Century Bath House and is one of Britain’s largest surviving pieces of Roman masonry, standing as a testament to the grandeur of the ancient town of Ratae Corieltauvorum (the Roman name for Leicester).

 

Now the 60s museum building adjacent to this remarkable site has been transformed into an exciting new attraction that brings history to life in an engaging and accessible way for visitors of all ages.

 

The reimagined Jewry Wall is a groundbreaking experience, placing storytelling at its heart, transporting visitors back almost 2,000 years through a mix of:

  • Real Romans – Discover stories of the people of Roman Leicester, brought to life through cutting-edge visual story-telling.
  • Original artefacts – All discovered in Leicester, some of Britain’s finest mosaics, wall plasters, and everyday objects of life from two millennia ago.
  • Multimedia immersive displays - Will transport you into the past with atmospheric projections and digital reconstructions of Ratae (Roman Leicester).
  • Active games and tactile experiences – Engage with history through digital and physical games, 3D models, stories and hands-on replica objects.
  • New - State of the art facilities include a new café, a shop stocked with Roman-inspired books, gifts and souvenirs, and dedicated spaces for learning and events.

Jewry Wall is more than just a place to learn about history, it is also a fantastic new space for Leicester’s community to enjoy, fully accessible for the first time in its history the museum is designed to be a welcoming and engaging destination for everyone.
