Best History Museum in Galloway

"From Einstein’s chalkboard to ancient sundials, science lovers will absolutely fall head over heels for the amazing collections at the Museum of the History of Science. This is actually the world’s purpose-built museum, and the building itself is known as the Old Ashmolean Building to help differentiate it from the Ashmolean. I’m not even a science lover, and I found so many wonderful things here that kept my interest and made me feel like perhaps I, too, with absolutely no math skills, could be a scientist."

"Students of science will swoon at this fascinating museum, stuffed to the ceilings with awesome astrolabes, astonishing orreries and early electrical apparatus. Housed in the lovely 17th-century building that... College in City Centre"

"From St Michael's it is a very short stroll to the Verulamium Museum, a modern museum showcasing finds from the Roman city. One highlight is a 2nd-century bronze figure of a goddess known as the Verulamium Venus, and another is 'Postumus', a skeleton discovered buried in a beautifully crafted lead coffin. A short walk across Verulamium Park from the museum brings you to a 3rd-century mosaic and hypocaust, protected by a low modern building."

"The Roman Theatre of Verulamium is an ancient excavated theatre built around 140 AD. It’s unique in that it’s not an amphitheatre, as was commonly built during Roman times. But rather, it resembles a design similar to a modern theatre, with a raised stage."
