Opening date set for new £16.8m Roman museum
Leicester's new multi-million pound Roman museum is to open in July.
The revamped Jewry Wall Museum will feature the remains of a Roman bath house and more than 100 Roman artefacts discovered across Leicestershire.
Work on the project began in 2021 but the council said progress had been delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic and contractors, originally carrying out the renovation, going bust.
The museum, which cost £16.8m, will officially open to visitors from 26 July, the city council said.
