My
first
visit
to
anything
Roman
in
Britain,
and
this
brilliantly
informative
and
incredibly
interesting
museum
is
a
great
introduction
to
understanding
the
Roman
way
of
life
on
the
edge
of
their
empire.
The
friendly
lady
at
the
visitor
desk
advised
us
to
watch
the
award
winning
short
3D
film
first
which
gave
us
a
superb
contemporary
view
of
how
the
wall
and
fort
of
Vindolanda
was
in
it’s
prime,
mixed
with
drone
footage
of
it
today.
It
was
excellent.
Then
we
toured
the
museum,
in
awe
of
it’s
artefacts,
information
and
tactile
stone
engravings.
My
wife
and
I
loved
it
and
can
thoroughly
recommend
a
visit
to
anyone
and
of
all
ages.
Wanting
to
extend
our
Roman
knowledge
further,
we
bought
several
books
from
the
shop.
They
might
be
for
kids
but
we
have
fun
camping
and
reading
facts
to
each
other
over
large
glasses
of
wine….but
only
wine
with
Latin
names
of
course.
On
leaving
the
museum,
for
our
visit,
there
was
even
a
gentleman
in
character
outside
in
a
tent
giving
talks
about
Roman
medical
care
during
battle
and
domestic
life.
That
was
interesting
too.
When
you
pay
on
entering
the
museum
you
get
the
option
of
discount
entry
to
Vindolanda
and
Birdoswald
Roman
forts.
They
were
visits
for
us
over
the
next
couple
of
days.
