Museums in Europe - richsc - 06-23-2013
This is bound to have been done before, so is there a list of the museums and locations specifically about Romans anywhere?

There was a thread started by someone going on holiday to Europe from USA (I think) and wanted to know which were the best museums. I'll see if I can find it, but that would be a start.

Hi
I faintly remembered 2 threads touching that subject --- may be outdated by now
http://www.romanarmytalk.com/17-roman-military-history-a-archaeology/151798-must-see-roman-related-museums-or-sites-europe.html
and
http://www.romanarmytalk.com/17-roman-military-history-a-archaeology/218776-museums-in-south-western-germany.html
.... that's what I found swiftly. There may be other threads about that subject.

This one is more of a question to the community at large rather than an answer to the thread, but could RAT be used as a host for a Wikipedia-type directory?
A fairly standardised format could be set-up (Museum name, country, region, link to museum website, areas of relevance to RAT, charges/gift shop etc, as well as a free-form section on "tips" - e.g. museum closed Mondays, "Information in Spanish, English & French" or "closed for restoration when I visited in Spring 2012" etc, and users could contribute sites and edit to add their insights, building a directory gradually.
I do tend to keep reasonable holiday diaries of sites I visit on the European mainland as well as being familiar with lots of UK sites, and I am sure there is a mine of information in RATers' collective heads.
It could also be extended to cover worthwhile archaeological sites without museums.
Any thoughts anyone? Could RAT host "Wiki-museum-directory" (and can anyone think of a better name)?
