The Museum is *not* part of the York Residents Festival this coming Saturday and Sunday (27th-28th Jan). But we are part of YorkCard discounts which will get you into the Museum for half price all year round!

In this photo, the building on fire is the paint shop next to the Old Mail Coach Inn. It was this fire that led to the the Inn being rebuilt, and the legionary baths complex being discovered in 1930. Scan supplied by Ian Drake, from 'YORK 100 years in pictures' published by The Yorkshire Evening Press 0n January 20 1992.

A Roman 'Happy New Year' all the way from our friends at Vindolanda and us! Looking forward to meeting our visitors from 2nd January onward 👍❤️

Found on Wednesday: a tile with a 'signature' on - the loop was made by drawing two fingers over wet clay before it was dried out and fired. Though called signatures, it's not certain what these markings were for. But the loop is the most common signature on the Museum's tiles. Perhaps it showed the tiles were made by a certain group of soldiers ...

We're open today until 4pm - come and say hello to John who will tell you all about how the Romans took their bath!

We seem to be getting a lot of 'check-ins' during the evening! I think people are getting the Museum mixed up with the Roman Bath Inn above! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roman-Bath/1121416234629418

You don't need the Tardis to go back in time - visit the Museum and you'll be carried back to Roman times! (Tardis seen in St Helen's Square, York, 15th December, but no Dr sighted)
