About this activity
An immersive Roman museum on Hadrian’s Wall focused on the soldiers who lived and served on the frontier. Films, reconstructed equipment and hands-on interpretation make it a stronger family experience than a display-only museum, and it pairs naturally with a wider Hadrian’s Wall day.
