THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM MUSEUM
Housed in the Department of Archaeology, the University Museum is one of the city's best-kept secrets.
The Museum was created in 1933 following excavations at Margidunum, a Roman settlement centred on the A46 roundabout at Bingham in Nottingham. Dr Felix Oswald, District Probate Officer for the city at the time, donated finds that had come to the settlement from across the Roman Empire.
Margidunum has been a rich source of artefacts for the museum. Pottery, foodstuffs, bone gaming counters, surgical instruments and jewellery are among them.
