Newcastle-upon-Tyne - Museum of Antiquities

The Newcastle Museum of Antiquities in the Quadrangle is noteworthy for its collection, assembled in 1813, of prehistoric, Roman and Anglo-Saxon objects. Of especial interest are the excavation finds and the lifelike model of Hadrian's Wall, which can be a good source of information before visiting the actual wall itself. There is also a reconstructed altar to Mithras dating from the third century, which was found at Housestead.
