Ancient Rome: The Empire that Shaped the World is a family-friendly, interactive exhibition of incredible machines, art and technology.

By studying archaeological finds and old texts, the internationally acclaimed Artisans of Florence have reconstructed ancient Roman technology using the same materials and techniques that were used thousands of years ago. The entire family will be able to get hands-on with these creations to learn about the fascinating history of ancient Rome, the lives of fearsome gladiators, and the innovation that set the Roman Empire apart from the rest of the world. This exhibition includes artefacts, models, catapults, frescoes, armour, weapons, busts, and much more. Ticketing Buy your tickets online now!
