Description

As you walk through our doors, you begin a journey back to Roman times. At the heart of our Roman Chichester gallery lie the awe-inspiring remains of a Roman bathhouse, brought to life by stunning finds such as the Chilgrove mosaic and artefacts uncovered from local archaeological digs.

Located on Tower Street in Chichester city centre, The Novium Museum is purpose-built to showcase this remarkable bathhouse, preserved beneath the building and on display for all to experience. From this Roman foundation, the museum expands across three floors of exhibitions, offering a captivating exploration of the Chichester District’s 500,000-year history — from prehistoric tools to wartime memories and beyond.

Whether you're a curious visitor, history enthusiast, or local explorer, The Novium is a gateway to the district’s rich and fascinating heritage.
