Step into the life of a Roman soldier and experience life on the front line of Emperor Hadrian’s formidable British frontier. Explored through reconstructions, objects excavated along Hadrian's Wall and the Vindolanda Trust’s inspiring interpretations of army life including the exclusive 3D Edge of Empire film, the museum pays unforgettable homage to Rome's military accomplishments in Britain. « less

The exhibits are superb, and the 3-D film puts the history of the area in context and brings it all to life - they should set up a branch in Rome !! More

We bought a duo ticket at Vindolanda and visited The Roman army Museum the following day. The staff were lovely and welcoming and we enjoyed the 3D exhibits the most. A really interesting place to visit and we learnt a lot along the way too! More

We attended the museum first in the morning and young or old you can't help but emerse yourself into the world of a Roman legionary on the frontier. For the kids there are... More
