Down at the bottom of Eastgate Street, past the entrance to the Eastgate Shopping Centre (outside Boots), sits what looks like a large glass bunker of some sort - and popular meeting place. Peer inside and you will see what remains of the city's medieval (and originally Roman) Eastern Gateway. Detailed explanatory boards illustrate its history well and there is even an audio commentary available. In the summer months you can explore the excavations more closely, through a doorway just inside Queens Street. Continue down here and turn into Brunswick Road to visit the City Museum (also including the Art Gallery). There is a small charge for entry, but this is well worth the sights to come. The museum is a good modern treasure house with several hands-on displays, ideal for kids. It houses a particularly good collection Roman exhibits from the city: notably its sculptures from Pagan shrines and a piece of Roman city wall still in situ! There are also Saxon finds, particularly the sculpted stones from St. Oswald's Priory and the most incredible ivory backgammon set found on the site of the Norman Castle.
