The light and modern galleries offer the visitor an exceptional interactive experience. The museum is renowned for its learning provision, with an education centre and temporary exhibition space that ensure a vibrant, changing programme of events and activities for everyone to enjoy, please see our website for more details. Fully accessible with a Cafe attached. A gift shop and the Cirencester Visitor Information Centre are on site.

Corinium Museum, Cirencester - very accessible afternoon visit

Afternoon visit to Cirencester's Corinium Museum. Lots of interesting artefacts, including large Roman mosaics found in and around Cirencester. The museum takes you through the history of Cirencester from pre-Roman up to the present day. The facilities are all wheelchair accessible with plenty of room to manoeuvre. There is a lift between the two floors and a spacious accessible toilet.
