A good walk through history

Each and every era of local history covered, although the emphasis is on the human era. This does mean there is more to dedicate to Celtic and Saxon eras, ofter overlooked for Romans and Normans and later. A personal note to museums everywhere - why...More

Worth a visit

Quite quiet on a Saturday morning when I was there. The exhibition starts on the first floor ( good clean toilets on the ground floor) and you see Hull through the various time periods from Neolithic to medieval. There’s a good section with a recreated...More

Journey back to Roman Britain and the Saxon invasion

Hull & East Riding Museum holds the most comprehensive collection of excavated Roman mosaic-tile floors, possibly in the UK. Also, replicas of ancient Celtic villages and much, much more. An absolute must for any visitor to Hull.

A great, and free, museum that greats you with a wooly mammoth!

I don't know how we had missed this gem on our previous visits to the Streetlife museum next door. It seems to have much, much more than the Roman mosiacs that we remembered from many years ago with the museum divided into separate historical ages....More

A brilliant insight

Walked through centurys without taking hours to do it. Interesting to think that Mammoths walked round Hull.

This museum uses artefacts from around the region alongside models to illustrate the entire history of humans in Hull. It takes you (in chronological order) from 75000 years to the middle ages. There are some wonderful reconstructions and the information is interesting without overloading the...More
