The Corinium Museum, in the Cotswold town of Cirencester in England, has a large collection of objects found in and around the locality. The bulk of the exhibits are from the Roman town of Corinium Dobunnorum,[1] but the museum includes material from as early as the Neolithic and all the way up to Victorian times.[2]

The museum has a collection of 2nd- and 4th-century Roman mosaic floors and carvings, as well other Roman objects, large and small.

The building, which was built in the mid 18th century, was previously a house. It is a Grade II listed building[3]
