Collections description
The Roman Baths and Temple of Sulis Minerva are among the finest Roman remains in Britain. At their heart is Britain’s only hot spring, where the Celtic and Classical worlds met in a magnificent complex of stone buildings used for worship, cleansing and healing. The museum, below the 18th century Pump Room, contains the monumental remains of these buildings and evidence of the people who used them.
