The Hull and East Riding Museum focuses on the deep prehistory and Roman archaeology of the region. The single most striking object is the Hasholme logboat — a 12-metre Iron Age vessel hollowed from a single oak around 300 BC, recovered from a Yorkshire field in 1984 and now displayed in its own gallery. Around it are dioramas of Iron Age life, a reconstructed Roman bathhouse, and finds from local digs.
Like the other High Street museums, entry is free. The building itself — a converted corn exchange with an ornate classical facade — is worth a look. The Roman gallery is small but the bathhouse mock-up gives a good sense of the architecture, and the children's activity sheets are well done.
