Jewish Wall Museum

Jewish Wall Museum

The Jewish Wall Museum is located in the old town of Leicester, England, with its building facing the famous remains of Leicester’s Jewish Wall. It houses a variety of artifacts from the Iron Age, Roman era, and medieval Leicester. The building has been designated as a Grade II listed structure in the UK and is managed and operated by Leicester City Council, offering free entry to visitors.

Stepping into the Jewish Wall Museum, you can explore Leicester’s rich archaeological history and the lives of its people from prehistoric times to the medieval period. The museum’s foundations include Leicester’s most iconic landmark — the Jewish Wall, which was once part of a Roman public bathhouse and is recognized as the tallest surviving example of Roman stonework in Britain. The Roman history of the Leicester area is presented in greater detail at the museum. In addition to Roman archaeological artifacts, the museum also displays remarkable relics from other periods of Leicester’s past, ranging from ancient stone tools to exquisite medieval tiles. Notable items in the collection include the Cupid Mosaic, Blackfriars Roman Pavement, Norfolk Street Roman Wall Painting, and Leicester Abbey Tiles — all worthy of close examination by visitors.
