The museum's collection covers the period from 6000BC to 1600AD. Its specialism, however, is the Roman period - with finds from all along Hadrian's Wall. The Director, Lindsay Allason-Jones, is often seen on TV with Channel Four's Time Team as their Roman finds expert. The museum's displays are well presented and easily understood. A group of altars to the mysterious Roman god, Mithras, which were found on Hadrian's Wall, are central to the museum. A reconstruction of what a Mithraic temple was like can be seen at the museum. Admission: free.
