The Verulamium Museum, part of [[St Albans Museums]], is on a site once occupied by the [[Forum (Roman)|forum]]. It is now on the edge of [[Verulamium Park]].

The museum contains much information about the town, both as a [[Roman Empire|Roman]] and [[Iron Age]] settlement, plus Roman history in general. It was established following the excavations carried out by [[Mortimer Wheeler]] and his wife, [[Tessa Wheeler]], during the 1930s.
It is run by the [[St Albans City Council|district council]].

===Collections===
It is noted for the large and colourful mosaics and many other artefacts, such as [[pottery]], jewellery, tools and [[coin]]s, from the Roman period. Many items were found in formal excavations, but some, including the [[Verulamium Forum inscription]]  and a [[coffin]] still containing a male skeleton, were unearthed nearby during building work.
