Roman bath house
One of the special features of the building is that it houses the remains of the Roman baths of the city of Noviomagus Reginorum. The remains of the Roman baths, which date back to the first century AD, dominate the ground floor gallery. These remains were found in the 1970s.

The Chilgrove Mosaic
The museum is also home to the Chilgrove Mosaic, which dates back to the fourth century AD, and was found at one of the two Roman villas discovered in the Chilgrove valley.

The Jupiter Stone
Another key exhibit is the Jupiter Stone. This has also been painstakingly conserved and rebuilt to take a prime position in the museum. It is a portion of a Roman sculpture base dated between the late first and early third century AD, which was dedicated to the God Jupiter. It was found during excavations in West Street, Chichester, in 1934.

Objects and curiosities
The Novium contains about 150,000 artefacts, both on display and in its store. The curiosities case contains strange and unusual things in the museum's collections.

Exhibitions
New exhibitions, dynamic events and interactive activities for all ages.
